<p><a href="https://prometheus.io/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Prometheus</a> is a very popular and comprehensive systems monitoring solution. It is a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company. A big plus is the capability to monitor <code>Kubernetes</code> clusters as well, which tend to be pretty complex in nature. Prometheus eases the operational tasks that are required in setting up a monitoring stack.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">kube-prometheus-stack</a> is meant for <code>cluster monitoring</code>, so it is <code>pre-configured</code> to collect metrics from all <code>Kubernetes components</code>. In addition to that it delivers a default set of <code>dashboards</code> and <code>alerting</code> rules. Many of the useful dashboards and alerts come from the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">kubernetes-mixin</a> project.</p>
<p>The <code>kube-prometheus-stack</code> consists of three main components:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Prometheus Operator</code>, for spinning up and managing <code>Prometheus</code> instances in your <code>DOKS</code> cluster.</li>
<li><code>Grafana</code>, for visualizing metrics and plot data using stunning dashboards.</li>
<li><code>Alertmanager</code>, for configuring various notifications (e.g. <code>PagerDuty</code>, <code>Slack</code>, <code>email</code>, etc) based on various alerts received from the Prometheus main server.</li>
</ul>
<p>Prometheus follows a <code>pull</code> model when it comes to metrics gathering, meaning that it expects a <code>/metrics</code> endpoint to be exposed by the service in question for scraping. For every metric that is being fetched by Prometheus, a time series database is used to store the data points.</p>
<p><code>Grafana</code> helps you gather data points from the Prometheus time series database, and plot everything using beautiful graphs grouped into dashboards. You can also perform queries using the <code>PromQL</code> language. To persist all the data (metrics and various settings), you need to allocate block storage for both Prometheus and Grafana instances via <code>Persistent Volumes</code> (or PVs).</p>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Alertmanager</a> component handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server. It takes care of <code>deduplicating</code>, <code>grouping</code>, and <code>routing</code> them to the correct <code>receiver</code> integration such as <code>email</code>, <code>PagerDuty</code>, or <code>Slack</code>. It also takes care of <code>silencing</code> and <code>inhibition</code> of alerts.</p>

<li>DigitalOcean is using <code>Helm v3</code> to deploy <code>Prometheus</code> to your <code>DOKS</code> cluster.</li>
<li>This chart was formerly named <code>prometheus-operator</code> chart, now renamed to more clearly reflect that it installs the <code>kube-prometheus</code> project stack, within which <code>Prometheus Operator</code> is only one component.</li>
<li>The Prometheus stack 1-Click App also includes a $1/month block storage for both Grafana and Prometheus time series database (two <code>PVs</code> of <code>5GB</code> each, to start with).</li>

<p>Mastodon is free and open-source software that provides instant global communication. Each Mastodon server is a completely independent entity, able to interoperate with others to form one global social network. Built on open web protocols, Mastodon can speak with any other platform that implements ActivityPub. With one account you get access to a whole universe of social apps — the fediverse.</p>

<h4 id="get-a-domain-name">Get a Domain name</h4>
<p>Use this <a href="https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/quickstart/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DNS quickstart</a> guide to get your DNS setup on DigitalOcean. You’ll first need to purchase and register your domain through a third party, such as Name.com, GoDaddy, etc…</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Why do you need a domain name?</strong><br/></p>
<p>This is how others will access your server and how you and your users will be identified on the network.</p></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="set-up-smtp">Set up SMTP</h4>
<p>You’ll need to get SMTP credentials for sending emails. This can be from an email delivery service like SparkPost, <a href="https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/sendgrid" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sendgrid</a>, Mailgun, etc.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Why do you need SMTP?</strong><br/></p>
<p>Mastodon uses SMTP to send verification emails to users signing up on your server. Without enabling an SMTP provider, your users won’t be able to sign up on your server. SMTP is also used for password resets, email verifications and security events.</p></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="optional-deploy-and-connect-to-object-storage-digitalocean-spaces-wasabi-minio-or-aws-s3">Optional: Deploy and Connect to Object Storage (DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, Minio or AWS S3)</h4>
<p>You’ll need access credentials for your preferred storage system. This guide will walk through setting up and connecting <a href="https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/how-to/create/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DigitalOcean Spaces</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Why do I need object storage?</strong> <br/></p>
<p>These buckets are used to store images, video and audio or whatever users will want to upload. Without Object storage, you will need to use your local database, which can be slow and overloaded quickly.</p></li>
