Your dashboards, your server
What is Grafana with PostgreSQL on a VPS?
Grafana turns metrics, logs and database tables into live dashboards. You see CPU load across your servers, last night's error spike or today's signups at a glance, and an alert reaches you before users notice a problem. This template runs open-source Grafana on your own KVM VPS with PostgreSQL as its backend database, so users, dashboards and alert rules live in a real database server instead of the default SQLite file.
Once you activate Coolify in the One-Click Apps tab, it deploys Grafana and PostgreSQL together in one click, so you skip writing a docker-compose file, wiring the database and configuring HTTPS by hand. Root access stays with you: run Prometheus or Loki next to Grafana, install the plugins you need, point your own domain at the dashboards and keep all monitoring data on a server you control.
Why this setup fits Grafana
Everything Grafana needs in one deploy.
Live dashboards, SQL queries on your own data and alerts to your team, with PostgreSQL wired in as Grafana's database from the first click.
Grafana + PostgreSQL in one click

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Grafana with PostgreSQL
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. Grafana OSS is open source and has no license fee, so self-hosting it costs only the server it runs on. With this template, your monthly cost is the price of the VPS package you choose. That is a fixed amount instead of billing per user, metric or log volume. Current package prices are shown live in the pricing section.
Order a VPS, open Coolify in the One-Click Apps tab and deploy the Grafana with PostgreSQL template in one click. Coolify starts both containers and connects Grafana to the database, and you keep full root and SSH access. To update Grafana later, redeploy the app in Coolify with a newer image version after dumping the PostgreSQL database with pg_dump. Read the One-Click Apps guide
Grafana alone needs little, but Coolify, PostgreSQL and Grafana share the same server. For a personal or small-team setup, start with a package that has at least 2 GB RAM and 2 vCPU cores. If you plan to run Prometheus, Loki or many dashboards on the same VPS, choose 4 GB RAM or more and extra storage. You can upgrade to a bigger package later.
Yes. Grafana ships with data sources for Prometheus, Loki, InfluxDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL and more, and plugins add others. Remote sources only need to be reachable from your VPS. The bundled PostgreSQL stores Grafana's own data; your business databases connect separately. Grafana and Prometheus are not alternatives: Prometheus collects and stores metrics, Grafana visualizes them, and both can run on the same VPS.
Yes, every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup, included even without ZapX Pass, and it covers Grafana and PostgreSQL too. ZapX Pass adds manual Backups, restores and snapshots. For extra safety, also dump the PostgreSQL database with pg_dump on a schedule and export important dashboards as JSON. Learn more about Backups
Yes. Create an A record that points your domain or subdomain to your VPS IP, then set it as the domain of the Grafana app in Coolify. Coolify's proxy requests the HTTPS certificate, so your team opens dashboards at an address like grafana.yourdomain.com. How to set DNS records
Yes. You can export dashboards as JSON and import them into the new instance, and you can recreate or provision your data source settings. To bring over users, folders, permissions and alert rules as well, migrate the old SQLite database to PostgreSQL with a migration tool before you switch. Test the result on the new VPS before you shut down the old server.
VPS servers are available at data center locations in Europe and America, including ZAP-Hosting's own sites. Pick the one closest to your team and the systems you monitor. Many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. You see the available locations when you configure your VPS.

Why does Grafana show "database is locked" errors?
That error comes from SQLite. Check that GF_DATABASE_TYPE is set to postgres in the app's environment.
Where do I check that?
Open the Grafana app in Coolify and look at its environment variables, then redeploy if you change them.
