# armhf
docker build \
  --tag grafana-xxl \
  --build-arg GRAFANA_DEB_URL=https://github.com/fg2it/grafana-on-raspberry/releases/download/v5.0.4/grafana_5.0.4_armhf.deb \
  --build-arg GOSU_BIN_URL=https://github.com/tianon/gosu/releases/download/1.10/gosu-armhf .

# arm64
docker build \
  --tag grafana-xxl \
  --build-arg GRAFANA_DEB_URL=https://github.com/fg2it/grafana-on-raspberry/releases/download/v5.0.4/grafana_5.0.4_arm64.deb \
  --build-arg GOSU_BIN_URL=https://github.com/tianon/gosu/releases/download/1.10/gosu-arm64 .

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-xxl \
  -e "GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://grafana.server.name" \
  -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret" \
  monitoringartist/grafana-xxl:latest

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

Configuring AWS credentials for CloudWatch support (only Grafana 3.+)

docker run \
  -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana-xxl \
  -e "GF_AWS_PROFILES=default" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  -e "GF_AWS_default_REGION=eu-west-1" \
  monitoringartist/grafana-xxl:latest

You may also specify multiple profiles to GF_AWS_PROFILES (e.g. GF_AWS_PROFILES=default another).

GF_AWS_PROFILES: list of AWS profiles for Cloudwatch datasource
GF_AWS_${profile}_ACCESS_KEY_ID: AWS access key ID (required).
GF_AWS_${profile}_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: AWS secret access key (required).
