Description

could you please add to your documentation what -addr should be set to when loki is installed in kubernetes in distributed mode (see diagram)? My guess is that the address should be pointed at the querier, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

Research direction
Review the Loki documentation on distributed mode (https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/fundamentals/architecture/components/) and the referenced diagram. Identify which component's service address should be used for the ` addr` flag when running in Kubernetes. The issue suggests it might be the querier, but confirmation is needed. Check the Kubernetes service definitions for the querier and other components in the distributed setup. Modify the documentation to include a clear example of the ` addr` value for distributed mode.
