Grafana LGTM (and more) Stack

[tina-junold]

Hi,

I think about how high the chance would be (or maybe useful) to add the full Grafana stack to TrueNAS apps. Currently, Grafana and Prometheus are listed, but i think about to add Loki, Tempo, Mimir, Pyroscope and Alloy to the list. The main issue that i see is the (default) configuration. I maintain a repository with a docker compose system which helps to use all these components during local development.
So my question is: What do you think? I'd really like to see it as apps here, but I'm unsure how the config could/should be maintained (by the users).

Each one should be added separately.
Now, the things that we should expose in the UI is things that matter for deployment.
Like ports etc. and maybe some common parameters.

For example loki, you cant possible expose anything from the config file. Full or even partial.
Users will have to do that on their own.

For sure, each separately. But i didn't know that it is possible in the UI to show complete config files (yaml, toml, ini).

[stavros-k]

I didn't mean to expose the whole config in the UI.
Only some options, and that is assuming those option can be configured via cli flags or envs.
I would really like to avoid having custom containers patching config files just to update a port.

@tina-junold FYI I'm working on an Alloy app should have a PR in a few days. If the experience goes well might be able to crack on with LTM as well

That would be great!
