Compatibility Notes

The Chainguard version of Grafana Pyroscope is a minimal, secure, and regularly updated container image designed to run Java applications. It leverages the security features of Chainguard Images, including low-to-zero CVEs, automated nightly builds, high-quality SBOMs, verifiable signatures, and reproducible builds.

Getting Started

For production scenarios, it's recommended you follow Grafana's guide on deploying Pyroscope using the official Helm chart.

Otherwise, here is an example of how to deploy Grafana Pyroscope locally:

cat <<EOF > values.yaml
pyroscope:
  image:
    repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/grafana-pyroscope
    tag: latest
EOF

Then add the repository for Grafana:

helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

Finally, install the Helm chart for Grafana Pyroscope:

helm install pyroscope grafana/pyroscope

This will deploy Grafana Pyroscope on your local Kubernetes cluster. You can port-forward it via the following command:

kubectl port-forward service/grafana-pyroscope-headless 4040

You can now access the UI at http://localhost:4040.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev variant.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
