🚀 How to Install Thanos using Helm with a Custom Values File

If you're working with monitoring and observability, Thanos is a fantastic tool that extends Prometheus by adding scalable long-term storage and providing global querying across multiple Prometheus servers.

In this guide, I'll walk you through how to install Thanos using the Bitnami Helm chart and how to configure it using a custom values file. We'll use Helm to deploy Thanos directly from the Bitnami OCI registry. Let's dive in! 🛠️

💡 What You Will Achieve

You'll install Thanos using the following Helm command:

helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/thanos --values ./values.yaml

Step-by-Step Process

• Set up Helm:
  First, ensure Helm is installed on your machine. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can find the installation guide here.

• Create a values.yaml file:
  This file allows you to customize your Thanos installation. Here’s an example configuration:

# values.yaml
objstore:
config:
type: S3
config:
bucket: "thanos-bucket"
endpoint: "s3.amazonaws.com"
access_key: "your-access-key"
secret_key: "your-secret-key"

• Run the Helm Command:
  Now, execute the following command, which will install Thanos with your custom configurations:

helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/thanos --values ./values.yaml

• Verify the Installation:
  Check if everything is running smoothly:

kubectl get pods

You should see the Thanos pods up and running! 🎉
