```
➜ flyctl volumes create grafana_storage --region ord
Name: grafana_storage
Region: ord
Size GB: 10
Created at: 02 Nov 20 19:55 UTC
```

Edit `fly.toml` to add mount information. Grafana defaults to `/var/lib/grafana` for persistence, so we can just mount it directly.
```toml
[mount]
source = "grafana_storage"
destination = "/var/lib/grafana"
```

#### Deploy

This is all you need, just run `flyctl deploy` and watch what happens.

Once that's done, run `flyctl open` to launch the Grafana UI in your browser. Grafana defaults to `admin` for both username and password, enter those, change the password, and you're set.

#### Plugins

Grafana has a number of interesting plugins, like the [Worldmap Panel](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-worldmap-panel). The Grafana Docker image will install plugins from an environment variable. You can configure environment variables in `fly.toml` like so:

```toml
[env]
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS = "grafana-worldmap-panel,grafana-clock-panel"
```

Run a quick `flyctl deploy`, check the logs, and you'll see messages like this:
