See https://github.com/victronenergy/venus-docker-grafana for usage and a lot of other information.
This repo has two docker images:
- Grafana, the Grafana Dashboard, code in
/Grafana; very minimal - Server, the dashboard as well as data-transmitter, both written in nodejs.
The entry point for docker is in /server/docker/Dockerfile, which first installs the
venus-docker-grafana-server, a nodejs package, by downloading it from www.npmjs.com (!).
Thereafter it starts it, by starting venus-server.
To learn more, read there.

- Dashboard, running at 0.0.0.0:8088
- API, also used by a JSON panel in Grafana, at 0.0.0.0:8088/grafana-api
