Apps / Grafana
Managed Grafana hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Dashboards for anything with a metric. Installed with provisioned datasources.
What it is
Grafana is the dashboard layer for everything measurable: metrics, logs, and alerts from dozens of data sources rendered into the panels ops teams live in.
Minimum RAM
2 GB
Fits on SC-2GB; SC-4GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current Grafana OSS behind HTTPS with authentication enforced, provisioning ready for data sources, SMTP wired through the managed gateway for alert emails, and the service supervised.
What managed covers
Platform and server updates, daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups of dashboards and settings, monitoring, and the managed firewall in front of the UI.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Grafana hosting include?
Grafana secured, updated, and backed up on a server we operate, with alert email that delivers, at flat pricing instead of per-user Grafana Cloud tiers. Your dashboards, your retention, your rules.
What can I point it at?
Anything with a data source plugin: a PostgreSQL or MySQL from this same catalog, Prometheus on your infrastructure, cloud services, business databases. Dashboards over your own SQL tables is an underrated superpower for SMBs.
Do alerts work?
Yes, Grafana Alerting is configured with SMTP through the authenticated gateway, plus webhook, Slack, and Telegram contact points as you need them. Rules evaluate on your server on your schedule.
Why self-host instead of Grafana Cloud?
Retention and seats. Cloud tiers meter users, series, and history; self-hosted Grafana keeps every teammate and every month of data at the flat price of the server, next to the databases it reads over localhost.
Stack it
Grafana runs well with.
Same server, no extra bill. These are the companions our team installs next to Grafana most often.
PostgreSQL
+1 GBThe engineers’ database. Installed, tuned for your RAM, and backed up twice offsite.
Uptime Kuma
+1 GBThe self-hosted uptime monitor everyone loves. Watch your sites from your own server.
Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Grafana need?
2 GB serves Grafana itself generously; the real budget goes to the data stores beside it, which the sizing calculator counts.
Are my dashboards backed up?
Daily, twice offsite, including provisioning and the internal database, so a rebuilt server comes back with every panel.
Can it be private?
Yes: authentication is on by default, and WireGuard from the catalog can put the whole UI behind a VPN at no cost.
Sizing an app stack? The VPS sizing calculator recommends a plan from your apps and traffic, with the math shown.
Shared CPU servers
The right home for Grafana and most stacks: 3.0+ GHz vCPU, from $10/mo.
