## Why use Bitnami Images?

* Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
* With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
* Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
* All our images are based on [minideb](https://github.com/bitnami/minideb) a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
* All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with [Docker Content Trust (DCT)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/). You can use `DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1` to verify the integrity of the images.
* Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/understand-rolling-tags-containers/).

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the `tags-info.yaml` file present in the branch folder, i.e `bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml`.

Subscribe to project updates by watching the [bitnami/containers GitHub repo](https://github.com/bitnami/containers).

## Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami grafana-mimir Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/grafana-mimir).

```console
$ docker pull bitnami/grafana-mimir:latest
```

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/grafana-mimir/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.

```console
$ docker pull bitnami/grafana-mimir:[TAG]
```

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

```console
$ git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
$ cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
$ docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
```

## Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers [in our docs](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/work-with-non-root-containers/).

## Configuration

### Running commands

To run commands inside this container you can use `docker run`, for example to execute `grafana-mimir --version` you can follow the example below:

```console
$ docker run --rm --name grafana-mimir bitnami/grafana-mimir:latest -- --version
```

In order for the container to work, you need to mount your custom `mimir.yaml` file in `/bitnami/grafana-mimir/conf/`. The following example runs Grafana Mimir with a custom configuration file:

```console
$ docker run --rm --name grafana-mimir -v /path/to/mimir.yaml:/bitnami/grafana-mimir/conf/mimir.yaml bitnami/grafana-mimir:latest
```

Using docker-compose:

```yaml
version: '2'
services:

  grafana-mimir:
    image: grafana-mimir
    volumes:
      - /path/to/mimir.yaml:/bitnami/grafana-mimir/conf/mimir.yaml
```

Check the [official Grafana Mimir documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/) to understand the possible configurations.
