Deploying Explorer on Docker

Explorer can be deployed to a Docker container and connected to an existing Prometheus instance as part of the am binary using the am proxy subcommand.

Requirements

Make sure you have Prometheus running in the environment you're hoping to connect the Explorer to. See Deploying Prometheus to Docker.

Pull the `am-proxy` Docker image

docker pull autometrics/am-proxy:latest

Run with Docker

Run the below command providing the required arguments as environment variables.
