Introduction
In our previous post How to configure Grafana on docker, we saw how we can run grafana docker container with SSL and oauth okta.
In this post, we will see how we can run this docker image on kubernetes cluster.
Note: I’m not going to detail out Kubernetes. I will just focus on Dockerfile and the environment variables for that.
Some Pre-requisites
I’m assumming you have configured Ingress rule, and exposed Kubernetes service for this grafana dashboard. And, the ingress rule should have the mapping from your cluster IP to app name: trainings
We are going to configure name of our app to trainings
kubernetes yaml file for service
Configuring service
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: trainings
spec:
type: ClusterIP
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 8080
selector:
app: trainingskubernetes file for ingress
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: trainings
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
spec:
rules:
- host: "<your host name>"
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: trainings
servicePort: 80
tls:
- hosts:
- <your hostname>
secretName: trainings-secretNote: you also have to configure SSL certificate to your cluster.

Kubernetes configuration yaml
Lets take a look at the Kubernetes configmap yaml file:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap

GF_SERVER_PROTOCOL: "http"
GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL: "https://<your host name>"
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID: "<client id>"

Apply config file
kubectl apply -f config/config.ymlApply deployment file
kubectl apply -f deployments/deployment.ymlHit your hostname, and it should redirect you to okta and then to your grafana dashboard.
