🚀 How to Execute the Thanos Helm Chart by Bitnami

In this blog post, I will guide you through the steps of deploying the Thanos Helm chart using Bitnami. By the end of this post, you'll be able to deploy Thanos in your Kubernetes cluster and manage its monitoring features efficiently.

📝 Steps to Deploy the Thanos Helm Chart

• Set Up Your Kubernetes Cluster

• Make sure you have a working Kubernetes cluster. If you don’t have one yet, you can use Minikube or CodeReady Containers (CRC) to spin up a local Kubernetes environment.

• Install Helm

• If you haven't installed Helm yet, you can do so with these simple commands:
  bash curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash

• Check the installation:
  bash helm version

• Add the Bitnami Repo

• The next step is to add the Bitnami repository to Helm:
  bash helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

• Update Your Repos

• Always ensure your Helm charts are up to date:
  bash helm repo update

• Install the Thanos Helm Chart

• To install Thanos, run the following command:
  bash helm install thanos bitnami/thanos

• You can also customize the installation by overriding default values using a values.yaml file or --set flags.

• Verify the Installation

• Once installed, verify that the pods are running:
  bash kubectl get pods

• Accessing the Thanos UI

• To access the Thanos Query UI, use the following command to forward the port:
  bash kubectl port-forward svc/thanos-query 9090:9090

• Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:9090.
