VictoriaMetrics can be deployed as a single node (all image tags without a "-cluster" suffix) or as a distributed cluster. See the github repository for reference: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/master as well as their public facing documentation: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/
In clustered mode, the VictoriaMetrics application itself is broken into 3 different services:
This image group also contains several standalone services (that DO vary between clustered and single mode):
You can install the VictoriaMetrics components using Helm. Below are the Helm install commands for each component:
vmagent
vmauth
Note: You will need to set the config and for sample testing purpose, you can take inspiration from this example:
vminsert
, vmselect
, vmstorage
Note: We use vmstorage.image.variant=""
because our images are alredy coming with cluster
suffix, so we no longer need to specify it. For further reference, refer to official docs
vmalert
You can use this example and override the image to use chainguard images like shown below. Note the server.config is your alerting rules, so you will have to customize those as per your own needs, as well as other things that are pertinent to your own setup.

Chainguard Images are a collection of container images designed for security and minimalism.
Many Chainguard Images are distroless; they contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These images do not even contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Images are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Images include:
-dev
VariantsAs mentioned previously, Chainguard’s distroless Images have no shell or package manager by default. This is great for security, but sometimes you need these things, especially in builder images. For those cases, most (but not all) Chainguard Images come paired with a -dev
variant which does include a shell and package manager.
Although the -dev
image variants have similar security features as their distroless versions, such as complete SBOMs and signatures, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. The general recommendation is to use the -dev
variants only to build the application and then copy all application artifacts into a distroless image, which will result in a final container image that has a minimal attack surface and won’t allow package installations or logins.
That being said, it’s worth noting that -dev
variants of Chainguard Images are completely fine to run in production environments. After all, the -dev
variants are still more secure than many popular container images based on fully-featured operating systems such as Debian and Ubuntu since they carry less software, follow a more frequent patch cadence, and offer attestations for what they include.
