Grafana docker container

Grafana Docker image

This project builds a Docker image with the latest master build of Grafana.

Running your Grafana container

Start your container binding the external port 3000.

docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 appcelerator/grafana

Try it out, default admin user is admin/changeme.

Grafana container with persistent storage (recommended)

docker run -d -v /var/lib/grafana --name grafana-storage busybox:latest
docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  --volumes-from grafana-storage \
  appcelerator/grafana

Dashboards and datasources

mount dashboards in /etc/extra-config/grafana/config-dashboard*.js and datasources in /etc/extra-config/grafana/config-datasource*.js, they will be loaded at container start.

You can find samples in the github repository, to mount your own, put your config-*.js file in a $config folder and:

docker run -v $config:/etc/extra-config/grafana:ro ...

An other way to load default configuration is to download a tarball archive from a public site. Use the CONFIG_ARCHIVE_URL for that:

docker run -d -e CONFIG_ARCHIVE_URL=https://download.example.com/config/grafana.tgz ... appcelerator/grafana:latest

The archive should contain under a top directory at least one of these directories:

• base-config/grafana
• extra-config/grafana

docker-grafana's Issues

Examples

I tried to add a dashboard, using a JSON exported from Grafana, but run.sh fails to create it with this error:

[{"fieldNames":["Dashboard"],"classification":"RequiredError","message":"Required"}]

For datasources I'm writing directly to the sqlite db, but I like the approach of going through the API, I just couldn't find examples.

Could you provide a couple of samples, one for dashboard and one for a datasource?

Thanks!

How to run docker with grafana4.6.3 successfully

Now, I have a problem.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
-v /tmp/config:/etc/extra-config/grafana:ro \
-v /tmp/grafana.ini:/etc/grafana/grafana.ini \
grafana/grafana:4.6.3

I put the config files about datasource and dashboards into /tmp/config.
And set the "grafana.ini" as below.

[dashboards.json]
enabled = true
path = /etc/extra-config/grafana/dashboard.js

But the container's state is "Exited (1)".

Maybe my usage is wrong.
What is the correct usage?
