## ⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog

Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new [Bitnami Secure Images initiative](https://news.broadcom.com/app-dev/broadcom-introduces-bitnami-secure-images-for-production-ready-containerized-applications). As part of this transition:

- Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
- Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
- Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
- For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.

These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the [Bitnami Secure Images announcement](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/83267).

## Introduction

Bitnami charts for Helm are carefully engineered, actively maintained and are the quickest and easiest way to deploy containers on a Kubernetes cluster that are ready to handle production workloads.

This chart bootstraps a [Grafana Operator](https://github.com/integr8ly/grafana-operator/blob/master/documentation/deploy_grafana.md) Deployment [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

## Differences between the Bitnami Grafana chart and the Bitnami Grafana Operator chart

The Bitnami catalog offers both the `bitnami/grafana` and `bitnami/grafana-operator` charts. Each solution covers different needs and use cases.

- The `bitnami/grafana` chart deploys a single Grafana installation (with Grafana Image Renderer) using a Kubernetes Deployment object (together with Services, PVCs, ConfigMaps, etc.). Its lifecycle is managed using Helm and, at the Grafana container level, the following operations are automated: persistence management, configuration based on environment variables and plugin initialization. The chart also allows deploying dashboards and data sources using ConfigMaps. The Deployments do not require any ServiceAccounts with special RBAC privileges so this solution would fit better in more restricted Kubernetes installations.

                                                 +------------+

```

- The `bitnami/grafana-operator` chart deploys a Grafana Operator installation using a Kubernetes Deployment. The operator will extend the Kubernetes API with the following objects: `Grafana`, `GrafanaDashboard` and `GrafanaDataSource`. From that moment, the user will be able to deploy objects of these kinds and the previously deployed Operator will take care of deploying all the required Deployments, ConfigMaps and Services for running a Grafana instance. Its lifecycle is managed using _kubectl_ on the Grafana, GrafanaDashboard and GrafanaDataSource objects.

```

> Note: As the operator automatically deploys Grafana installations, the Grafana Operator pods will require a ServiceAccount with privileges to create and destroy multiple Kubernetes objects. This may be problematic for Kubernetes clusters with strict role-based access policies.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.23+
- Helm 3.8.0+

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

These commands deploy grafana-operator on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Configuration and installation details

### Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the `resources` value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the `resourcesPreset` values, which automatically sets the `resources` section according to different presets. Check these presets in [the bitnami/common chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/common/templates/_resources.tpl#L15). However, in production workloads using `resourcesPreset` is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the [official Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/).

### [Rolling vs Immutable tags](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Backup and restore

To back up and restore Helm chart deployments on Kubernetes, you need to back up the persistent volumes from the source deployment and attach them to a new deployment using [Velero](https://velero.io/), a Kubernetes backup/restore tool. Find the instructions for using Velero in [this guide](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-backup-restore-deployments-velero-index.html).

### Prometheus metrics

This chart exposes Prometheus metrics by default with a `metrics` service, which has the necessary annotations to be automatically scraped by Prometheus.

#### Prometheus requirements

It is necessary to have a working installation of Prometheus or Prometheus Operator for the integration to work. Install the [Bitnami Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/prometheus) or the [Bitnami Kube Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/kube-prometheus) to easily have a working Prometheus in your cluster.

#### Integration with Prometheus Operator

The chart can deploy `ServiceMonitor` objects for integration with Prometheus Operator installations. To do so, set the value `operator.prometheus.serviceMonitor.enabled=true`. Ensure that the Prometheus Operator `CustomResourceDefinitions` are installed in the cluster or it will fail with the following error:

```text
no matches for kind "ServiceMonitor" in version "monitoring.coreos.com/v1"
```

Install the [Bitnami Kube Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/kube-prometheus) for having the necessary CRDs and the Prometheus Operator.

### Create Grafana Dashboards

After the installation, create Dashboards under a CRD of your Kubernetes cluster.

For more details regarding what is possible with those CRDs please have a look at [Working with Dashboards](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-operator/blob/master/docs/docs/dashboards.md).

### Deploy extra Grafana resources or objects

There are cases where you may want to deploy extra objects, such as custom _Grafana_, _GrafanaDashboard_ or _GrafanaDataSource_ objects. For covering this case, the chart allows adding the full specification of other objects using the `extraDeploy` parameter.

For instance, to deploy a custom Grafana definition, install the Grafana Operator chart using the values below:

```yaml
grafana:
  enabled: false
extraDeploy:
  - apiVersion: integreatly.org/v1alpha1
    baseImage: docker.io/bitnami/grafana:7
    kind: Grafana
    metadata:
      name: grafana
    spec:
      deployment:
        securityContext:
          runAsUser: 1001
          fsGroup: 1001
        containerSecurityContext:
          runAsUser: 1001
          fsGroup: 1001
          allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
      service:
        type: LoadBalancer
      ingress:
        enabled: false
      config:
        log:
          mode: "console"
          level: "warn"
        security:
          admin_user: "admin"
          admin_password: "hello"
        auth.anonymous:
          enabled: true
      dashboardLabelSelector:
        - matchExpressions:
            - { key: app, operator: In, values: [grafana] }
```

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
  --set livenessProbe.successThreshold=5 \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The above command sets the `livenessProbe.successThreshold` to `5`.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

## Upgrading

### To 4.9.0

This version introduces image verification for security purposes. To disable it, set `global.security.allowInsecureImages` to `true`. More details at [GitHub issue](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/30850).

```console
helm upgrade my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/grafana-operator
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

### To 4.0.0

This major bump changes the following security defaults:

- `runAsGroup` is changed from `0` to `1001`
- `readOnlyRootFilesystem` is set to `true`
- `resourcesPreset` is changed from `none` to the minimum size working in our test suites (NOTE: `resourcesPreset` is not meant for production usage, but `resources` adapted to your use case).
- `global.compatibility.openshift.adaptSecurityContext` is changed from `disabled` to `auto`.

This could potentially break any customization or init scripts used in your deployment. If this is the case, change the default values to the previous ones.

### To 3.0.0

In this version use different apiVersion in CRDs `integreatly.org/v1alpha1` -> `grafana.integreatly.org/v1beta1`
Please check the [offical documentation|https://github.com/grafana-operator/grafana-operator/blob/master/docs/blog/v4-v5-migration.md] to migrate to version 3.

### To 2.0.0

In this version the CRDs get updated from v1beta to v1 stable API. It also updates the operator image to the new major `v4.x.y` release.

The `values.yaml` does not need changes when updating to this major version of the chart

- CRDs were updated to the latest Grafana Operator 4.0.x release artifacts:
  - The apiVersion of CRDs was updated from `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` to `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`.
  - Kubernetes 1.16 or higher is now required.

Some of the chart values were changed to adapt to the latest Bitnami standards. More specifically:

- `operator.args` was replaced with the standard value of overriding the container commands. The original `operator.args` contents were moved to `operator`.
- Several standard values were added such as `sidecars`, `initContainers`, `extraEnvVars`, amongst others.

No issues should be expected when upgrading.

### To 1.0.0

In this version, the `image` block is defined once and is used in the different templates, while in the previous version, the `image` block was duplicated for the grafana container and the grafana plugin init one

```yaml
image:
  registry: docker.io
  repository: bitnami/grafana
  tag: 7.5.10
```

VS

```yaml
image:
  registry: docker.io
  repository: bitnami/grafana
  tag: 7.5.10
---
grafanaPluginInit:
  image:
    registry: docker.io
    repository: bitnami/grafana
    tag: 7.5.10
```
