Running Grafana Loki (OSS) on Fly

1

I’m interested in running grafana loki (OSS log aggregation platform) on Fly.

So far, I’ve been able to create the loki instance without much trouble: Kick off with fly launch --image grafana/loki:<version> and off to the races. I can connect this to a Grafana instance running on fly and even send logs from a local machine to the loki instance. So far, so good.

That said, shipping actual Fly logs to this self-hosted loki instance has proved challenging. Setting the LOKI_URL secret in fly-log-shipper doesn’t seem to do anything.

What’s the best way to connect fly-log-shipper to a self-hosted Loki instance?

Hi @fritzblue

Did you try using the internal address, <LOKI-APP-NAME>.internal for the LOKI_URL in log-shipper?

Ah, I had http://<LOKI-APP-NAME>.internal:3100 but it looks like just <LOKI-APP-NAME>.internal appears to do the trick. Thanks @dusty!
