1. Fork this repository.
2. Create a Node.js application. It will download and run Grafana using the root package.json file. The install script build.sh will download grafana and its plugins and the start one run.sh will start the grafana-server binary.
3. In your application environment variables add GF_SERVER_HTTP_PORT=8080.
4. Add GRAFANA_VERSION and GRAFANA_SHA_256 environment variables. You can find these values on the Grafana download page.
5. Check Node.js version used in package.json, for instance Grafana 7.5.5 expects Node.js 14 (see Grafana's package.json).
6. To install custom Grafana plugin, you can set them directly in GRAFANA_PLUGINS environnement variable split by a ,, for example with the value: plugin,other_one:0.0.2,https://github.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource.git. It will install the latest version of plugin, the version 0.0.2 of second_one using the grafana-cli commands. And for the ovh-warp10-datasource plugin, git clone is used instead, as it's done for any plugin starting by http.
7. Add GF_PLUGIN_DIR environnement variable with ./data/plugins to use local cloned plugins.
8. You can now build and start the Clever Cloud application, be aware however that if you restart it your data will not be persisted (see next section to learn how to persist data).
9. To configure Grafana through environment variables please check grafana configuration page.

For this example we will use mysql however the procedure shouldn't be too different with any other type of database as PostgreSQL.

1. Create your database add-on on Clever Cloud and link it to the application, you can check our documentation.
2. In your application environment variables you should now see the information you need to connect to your database.
3. Link your add-on to your Grafana application. To do this you need to create a few environment variables (replace what's in '<>' with the actual value):
   • GF_DATABASE_NAME=<MYSQL_ADDON_DB>
   • GF_DATABASE_HOST=<MYSQL_ADDON_HOST>
   • GF_DATABASE_PASSWORD=<MYSQL_ADDON_PASSWORD>
   • GF_DATABASE_URL=<MYSQL_ADDON_URI>
   • GF_DATABASE_USER=<MYSQL_ADDON_USER>
   • GF_DATABASE_TYPE=mysql
