Mimir Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened Mimir image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.
Mimir is a horizontally scalable multi-tenant time series database (TSDB) for metrics designed for long-term storage with Prometheus.
Try It Out
Prerequisites
- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
- Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
kubectlinstalled and configured
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Add Repository to your Local Client
Add the Helm chart to your local Helm client.
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo updateStep 3: Deploy via Helm Chart
helm install mimir grafana/mimir-distributed \
--namespace mimir \
--create-namespace \
--set image.repository=reg.mini.dev/mimir \
--set image.tag=latest
--set rollout_operator.image.repository=reg.mini.dev/grafana-rollout-operator \
--set rollout_operator.image.tag=latestWait a minute and check that the Pods are up and running:
kubectl -n mimir get poConfirm that Minimus images were deployed:
kubectl -n mimir describe pods | grep Image:Step 4: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart to delete the namespace and its resources, including Pods, Deployments, Services, Secrets, ConfigMaps, etc.:
helm uninstall mimir -n mimirTechnical Considerations
The Mimir image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
Mimir built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root by default as user 1000. By comparison, the public image runs as root.
- Listens on port 8080/tcp but does not expose it by default. The public image exposes the same port by default.
- Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.
The Payoff
A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
- See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
- Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
