bittorrent/grafana repository overview

⁠Grafana Docker image

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

⁠Running your Grafana container

Start your container binding the external port 3000.

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

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

⁠Configuring your Grafana container

All options defined in conf/grafana.ini can be overriden using environment variables by using the syntax GF_<SectionName>_<KeyName>. For example:

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  -e "GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://grafana.server.name" \
  -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret" \
  grafana/grafana

More information in the grafana configuration documentation: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/⁠

⁠Grafana container with persistent storage via AWS EFS

The provided Kubernetes yaml configurations (located in kubernetes/), provide two Persistent Volume Claims that are used for the Grafana database and configuration.

⁠Installing plugins for Grafana 3

Pass the plugins you want installed to docker with the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS environment variable as a comma seperated list. This will pass each plugin name to grafana-cli plugins install ${plugin}.

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana \
  -e "GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-clock-panel,grafana-simple-json-datasource" \

  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name grafana \
  grafana/grafana:2.6.0
