Simple docker image to run a Grafana server

tutum-docker-grafana

Grafana dashboard for Influx DB

Usage

To create the image tutum/grafana, execute the following command on the tutum-docker-grafana folder:

docker build -t tutum/grafana .

To run the image and bind the port:

docker run -d -p 80:80 tutum/grafana

The first time that you run your container, a new user admin will be created for HTTP basic auth with a random password. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You will see an output like the following:

 ========================================================================
 You can now connect to Grafana with the following credential:

     admin:ilNfrVn68r1N

 ========================================================================

In this case, ilNfrVn68r1N is the password allocated to the admin user.

You can now login you to Grafana in your browser: http://127.0.0.1/

Setting a specific password for Basic HTTP Authentication

You can specify username and password for HTTP Basic Auth of tutum/grafana:

• HTTP_USER=admin: Username for HTTP auth, using admin by default
• HTTP_PASS=**Random**: Password for HTTP auth. Change it, otherwise system will generate a random password.

If you want to user a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can set the environment variable HTTP_PASS to you specific password when running the container:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -e HTTP_USER=admin -e HTTP_PASS=mypass tutum/grafana

You can now test it: http://127.0.0.1/

Configure the connection to InfluxDB

tutum/grafana needs to know the information of your InfluxDB for configuration. Please provide the following environment variables when running your Grafana container:

• INFLUXDB_PROTO=http: Protocol of your InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_HOST=**ChangeMe**: Host of your InfluxDB (without protocol)
• INFLUXDB_PORT=8086: Port number of your InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_NAME=**ChangeMe**: Database name of your InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_USER=root: Username of your InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_PASS=root: Password of your InfluxDB

Here is an example:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -e INFLUXDB_HOST=influxdb-1-tifayuki.delta.tutum.io -e INFLUXDB_PORT=8086 -e INFLUXDB_NAME=testdb -e INFLUXDB_USER=root -e INFLUXDB_PASS=root tutum/grafana

Configure Elasticsearch to save and load dashboards

If you want you use Elasticsearch to save and load you dashboards, you can provide the following environment variables for configuration:

• ELASTICSEARCH_PROTO=http: Protocol of your Elasticsearch
• ELASTICSEARCH_HOST=**None**: Host of your Elasticsearch (without protocol)
• ELASTICSEARCH_PORT=9200: Port number of your Elasticsearch
• ELASTICSEARCH_USER=**None**: Username for elasticsearch if it has HTTP basic auth enabled (leave it to **None** if no HTTP basic auth is needed)
• ELASTICSEARCH_PASS=**None**: Password for elasticsearch if it has HTTP basic auth enabled (leave it to **None** if no HTTP basic auth is needed)

Here is an example:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -e INFLUXDB_HOST=influxdb-1-tifayuki.delta.tutum.io -e INFLUXDB_PORT=8086 -e INFLUXDB_NAME=testdb -e INFLUXDB_USER=root -e INFLUXDB_PASS=root -e ELASTICSEARCH_HOST=elasticsearch-1-tifayuki.beta.tutum.io -e ELASTICSEARCH_PORT=9200 -e ELASTICSEARCH_USER=admin -e ELASTICSEARCH_PASS=admin tutum/grafana

Configure InfluxDB to save and load dashboards

If you want to use InfluxDB for saving dashboards, you need to pass an extra environment variable: INFLUXDB_IS_GRAFANADB which defaults to false.

Here is an example:

docker run -d -p 80:80 \
  -e INFLUXDB_HOST=influxdb-1-tifayuki.delta.tutum.io \
  -e INFLUXDB_PORT=8086 \
  -e INFLUXDB_NAME=testdb \
  -e INFLUXDB_USER=root \
  -e INFLUXDB_PASS=root \
  -e INFLUXDB_IS_GRAFANADB=true \
