Getting started

Create folders requiring special permissions

mkdir -p data/loki
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 data/loki
mkdir -p data/grafana
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 data/grafana

For collecting logs of docker containers, the easiest way is to change the default loggin driver to journald, to aggregate them into systemd journal. From there they will be collected by promtail.

{
    "log-driver": "journald"
}

Then restart the docker service using sudo systemctl restart docker.service
