The documentation referenced "data volume containers", which were superseded by named volume support in Docker several years ago. There were to bind-mounting examples in the docs that are effectively doing the same thing, but the description of the second was somewhat erroneous.

# Installation
|
|
|
|
## Using pre-compiled binaries
|
|
|
|
We provide precompiled binaries for most official Prometheus components. Check
|
|
out the [download section](https://prometheus.io/download) for a list of all
|
|
available versions.
|
|
|
|
## From source
|
|
|
|
For building Prometheus components from source, see the `Makefile` targets in
|
|
the respective repository.
|
|
|
|
## Using Docker
|
|
|
|
All Prometheus services are available as Docker images on
|
|
[Quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/prometheus/prometheus) or
|
|
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus/).
|
|
|
|
Running Prometheus on Docker is as simple as `docker run -p 9090:9090
|
|
prom/prometheus`. This starts Prometheus with a sample
|
|
configuration and exposes it on port 9090.
|
|
|
|
The Prometheus image uses a volume to store the actual metrics. For
|
|
production deployments it is highly recommended to use a
|
|
[named volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/)
|
|
to ease managing the data on Prometheus upgrades.
|
|
|
|
To provide your own configuration, there are several options. Here are
|
|
two examples.
|
|
|
|
### Volumes & bind-mount
|
|
|
|
Bind-mount your `prometheus.yml` from the host by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
-p 9090:9090 \
|
|
-v /path/to/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \
|
|
prom/prometheus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or bind-mount the directory containing `prometheus.yml` onto
|
|
`/etc/prometheus` by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
-p 9090:9090 \
|
|
-v /path/to/config:/etc/prometheus \
|
|
prom/prometheus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom image
|
|
|
|
To avoid managing a file on the host and bind-mount it, the
|
|
configuration can be baked into the image. This works well if the
|
|
configuration itself is rather static and the same across all
|
|
environments.
|
|
|
|
For this, create a new directory with a Prometheus configuration and a
|
|
`Dockerfile` like this:
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
FROM prom/prometheus
|
|
ADD prometheus.yml /etc/prometheus/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now build and run it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker build -t my-prometheus .
|
|
docker run -p 9090:9090 my-prometheus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A more advanced option is to render the configuration dynamically on start
|
|
with some tooling or even have a daemon update it periodically.
|
|
|
|
