You can easily configure Grafana Loki as a logging driver in your Kamal deployments.
In this guide I'm using Grafana Cloud and Loki Docker driver client.
Install Loki Docker driver in your Kamal hosts
This step can be automated using Kamal docker-setup hook. Which runs right after Docker is installed, usually when you run kamal setup.
docker-setup
This script example is prepared to use multiple destinations.
File location: .kamal/hooks/docker-setup
#!/bin/sh
echo "Docker set up on $KAMAL_HOSTS. Destination $KAMAL_DESTINATION"
# Check if the Loki Docker Driver plug-in is already installed
if ! kamal server exec "docker plugin ls" -d $KAMAL_DESTINATION | grep -q "loki"; then
echo "Installing Loki Docker Driver plug-in..."
kamal server exec \
"docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:2.9.2 --alias loki --grant-all-permissions" \
-d $KAMAL_DESTINATION
else
echo "Loki Docker Driver plug-in is already installed."
fi
Configure Kamal logging driver
deploy.yaml
logging:
driver: loki
options:
loki-url: https://<user_id>:<password>@logs-us-west1.grafana.net/loki/api/v1/push
loki-batch-size: "400"
