This container is based on the existing official Grafana Docker container. This container adds a layer on top of the Grafana container, which takes care of the bootstrapping for datasources and dashboards.
Self-bootstrapping Grafana instance in a Docker container.
The container exposes /etc/grafana, where an external volume can be mounted with pre-existing dashboards and datasources to be added to Grafana via API. The external volume must also have a grafana config file present at the root of the mapped volume.
Iterates over all .json files in /etc/grafana/dashboards/ and posts each via curl with Basic Auth to the grafana API.
The bootstrapping script handles part of the conversion from Grafana 'templates' to what the dashboard API expects. The script wraps the json files provided in {"overwrite": true, "dasboard": ${JSON} }, but does not handle dynamic template inputs like templatized datasources.
