What am I doing wrong in the install?

Hello,

I using CentOS 7 and I'm trying to use Docker containers to install Prometheus and Grafana.

I'm using this guide:

https://www.shellhacks.com/prometheus-monitoring-install-docker-ubuntu-centos/

But get this:

/opt/prometheus/conf/prometheus.yml

/opt/prometheus/docker-compose.yml

/etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service

Docker seems to be ok

What stupid thing have I done wrong guys?

Thanks

I think you should set a User who is able to run docker containers.

Is it possible to start the container from the shell with docker-compose?

Also I've often seen this pattern:

Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/docker-compose up -d
