GreptimeDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## GreptimeDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

GreptimeDB is an open-source, cloud-native time-series database for metrics, logs and events. It speaks SQL and PromQL and accepts ingestion over the InfluxDB, OpenTSDB and Prometheus protocols, so it slots into existing observability and IoT pipelines without re-tooling your collectors. The cloudimg image installs GreptimeDB 1.1.1 in standalone mode as a dedicated greptimedb system user behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80 with HTTP Basic auth, stores all time-series data on a dedicated Azure data disk, and generates a unique admin password on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

SQL, PromQL and More

Query with SQL or PromQL and ingest over the InfluxDB, OpenTSDB and Prometheus line protocols. The web Dashboard (a SQL/PromQL query console with table and chart views) is at /dashboard/ and the SQL-over-HTTP API at /v1/sql.

Dedicated Data Disk

All time-series data lives on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/greptimedb, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure By Default

GreptimeDB's HTTP API has no built-in authentication, so nginx fronts it on port 80 with HTTP Basic auth and a unique per-VM password generated on first boot, written to a root-only file.

Browse to http://your-vm-ip/dashboard/ and sign in as admin. GreptimeDB serves plain HTTP on port 80 - front it with TLS and your own domain before production exposure.
