A hands-on guide to running Grafana locally using Docker, covering five practical examples: standalone Grafana setup, Prometheus metrics visualization, log analysis with Loki, distributed tracing with Tempo, and continuous profiling with Pyroscope. Each example uses Docker Compose with pre-configured data sources and sample data generators, requiring only Docker installed locally. A companion GitHub repository contains all example directories with READMEs and configuration files.
