Was my mission to make customization in Grafana less painful successful? What would you do differently? Thanks for your opinion!

[renobodyrenobody]

Thank you guys! It is interesting, in particular for 2 points. First, I never thought about reducing the size of grafana and I think it is interesting depending on the computer target, clever ! Second, I've done some things to obtain the same results as you have done, but your way to do it is better. You are a great source of inspiration!

@volkovlabs Thanks for this amazing stuff. Is there a way to supress the Grafana toast errors when we embed it as IFRAME in our applications?

Hello Ma'am, I am trying to integrare AD(Active Directory) with grafana for authentication. But not able to make connection of ldap with grafana....can you please help with this????

[ilanmadar]

When I execute "docker-compose build grafana" I have "failed to solve: failed to compute cache key: failed to calculate checksum of ref "/dist": not found". And if I comment "COPY --chown=grafana:root dist /app", the first command works but the second one ends up with "Error: ✗ app provisioning error: plugin not installed: "volkovlabs-app"". Can you help me to solve it ?

Is white labelling possible in non enterprise grafana ?

[Mohammed-sdn]

This is some really excellent work, thanks for sharing what you've done. I'm more focused on the visualization part, and for the most part this works, my only problem seems to be when I'm trying out different images or logos, it doesn't seem to update. Or at least I can't get it to consistently do it. Is there something in particular you've done to get it to change every time? I've just been rebuilding the Docker file and can't seem to get it to work. Thanks.

Thank you for your amazing work and especially for the tutorials on Grafana customization!
Is it by any chance possible to remove/hide the news icon (on the top right, close to the Sign in)?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the video! Where can I find details to add a new menu link in the left side Navigation menu in grafana?

[spyder]

Excellent work and thank you for doing this.
Hoping I can ask some questions and the group can provide some answers?
1. do you know what settings the images (png and svg) for the GUI customizations should be?
2. I had to comment out the line in the dockerfile related to the EntryPoint. What does this do.

I have everything almost configured. The only issue is that it takes a long time to load as I suspect that I have some settings wrong/missing. Anyone able to help.

[renobodyrenobody]

Well, is there also anyway to provision users with this method please? (Seen Grafana 9.5 is here!)

[bryceyang]

The docker image start failure with the error "grafana | logger=provisioning level=error msg="Failed to provision plugins" error="app provisioning error: plugin not installed: \"volkovlabs-app\""
grafana | Error: ✗ app provisioning error: plugin not installed: "volkovlabs-app", how can i fix this.
