Graphana docker image ?

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

I am not able to find the image for this container:

https://hub.docker.com/r/aerogearcatalog/grafana/

If not an automated build repo, we should at least point to the actual aerogear GH repository, where the thing is located.

Thanks

I remember a rember there's a reason for having a custom image built
(we need specific features that aren't in latest upstream image), but
I'm not sure who pushed it up and from where.

@Dara @Steven, is there a fork of grafana or some repo where we have
the Dockerfile?

custom image is all fine - but we should share what we did, and have a (forked) repo :-) 

Also, in the long run - this needs to be "reproducable" in terms of builds ;-)

TL;DR: We forked the grafana build tools [0] and built a commit off the master branch that we knew to be stable. In addition we modified the build scripts to include some Grafana plugins inside the container image. There were two reasons we did this.

1. We were depending on new features in Grafana that were only available on the master branch. Grafana was under very heavy development as they geared up towards their 5.0 release and we were finding new problems arising every few days while we worked off the master branch. This was really slowing down APB development. 

2. We needed to install additional plugins required by some dashboards. Grafana's docker image provides a way to install plugins using environment variables fed into the container at runtime but this requires root access which is not feasible in Openshift. The only way we could do it at the time was by baking in the plugins as part of the docker build. It's a terrible solution but it was the only way at the time to continue the very fast pace of development of the APBs.

There are still a some questions to be answered:

* How are we going to distribute Grafana on OpenShift such that it doesn't require root access?

* What is the best way to install plugins? There was some discussion about the different options and the consequences of those options in this document [1]

This all arose during a sprint where one of the primary goals was to deliver an APB that could provision Grafana + Prometheus and display dashboard discovery and some other features. We decided at the time that we were not prepared to answer those bigger questions so we knowingly put this technical debt on ourselves and implemented a quick and dirty solution.

This entire thing was discussed publicly in a Github PR: https://github.com/aerogearcatalog/keycloak-apb/pull/33 But perhaps it should also have been mentioned on list at the time. Hope this clears things up.

there is no issue w/ forks etc :-)

I just found it very annoying not seeing any hint on the repo, in dockerhub :-)

I will update it

The other question is ... is "aerogearcatalog" the right choice ? 

IMO no - since that https://github.com/aerogear/grafana-docker is not an APB

IMO it would be better in "aerogear" dh org ;-)

I 100% agree that it should be in the aerogear org and I suggested it at the time. However, we were never given access (even though we asked) :)

[Phil Brookes]

Hey Dara,

I have added you to the developers teams in the aerogear org now. Let me know if any others need to be added, or if it is not working correctly for you.

Regards,
Phil.

Thanks Phil!

@Matthias: yes I got added to the dockerhub one recently for the aerogear app metrics service :)

[Dara Hayes]

Hey Phil,

I've been catching up on some housekeeping tasks. I think we all agree that the aerogearcatalog organisation was not the right place to host the image.

Now that I have access, I've pushed it to https://hub.docker.com/r/aerogear/grafana/ and I've opened a PR against the metrics-apb (I've pinged you for review). Once that's been merged we can remove the image from aerogearcatalog.

Kindest Regards,

Dara

Hey Guys,

I agree with Matthias on this. When we had the discussion that lead to the creation of aerogearcatalog - we agreed that we would create this org so that we would have a undiluted index of APBs.

Based on this I would say that anything that is not an APB does not belong in the aerogearcatalog organisation.

The aerogear org seems like a fine location for it though.

Regards,
Phil.
