Tanks for the tip. But I would still need some storage and Data Shipper, right? Or is Loki also taking care of storage?

Promtail is the official log shipper for Loki, but you can also use others. See https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/sources/cli...

As for storage, the default is BoltDB for indexes and local file system for the data, but you can also use popular cloud solutions like DynamoDB, etc. AFAIK BoltDB is automatically installed when you install Loki.

The only possible pain point I see for you is that Loki is tailored for Kubernetes. It is totally possible to use it without running a K8 cluster, but you lose some features.
