Documentation: How to setup without Docker

[MBaechtoldUZH]

Currently, the setup instructions focus on running the project via Docker. However, many users already have existing infrastructure, such as Prometheus and Grafana, and may prefer to run the services directly without Docker.

Proposed Improvement:

• Provide clear, step-by-step instructions to run the project without Docker, including:

  • Configuration files setup
  • Connecting to existing PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Grafana instances

• Include any environment variables or paths that differ from the Docker setup.

Benefits:

• Enables integration with existing monitoring infrastructure
• Simplifies adoption for environments where Docker is not used
• Reduces overhead for users who already manage Prometheus/Grafana
