The book is good however the content of installation is outdated.
I had a hard time installing it. So I am adding the docker-compose files.
Whoever wants can use it.

Great work, not referential manual but perfect user guide. From basics via different how-to to advanced topics (building graphite clusters) and troubleshooting. Now I have perfect idea what running graphite means and what it is capable of.
