Documentation & Support
Be sure to read the getting started guide and the other feature guides.
Run from master
If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - Here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find the latest master builds here
Dependencies
- Go 1.10
- NodeJS LTS
Building the backend
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build
Building frontend assets
For this you need nodejs (v.6+).
To build the assets, rebuild on file change, and serve them by Grafana's webserver (http://localhost:3000):
npm install -g yarn
yarn install --pure-lockfile
yarn watch
Build the assets, rebuild on file change with Hot Module Replacement (HMR), and serve them by webpack-dev-server (http://localhost:3333):
yarn start
# OR set a theme
env GRAFANA_THEME=light yarn start
Note: HMR for Angular is not supported. If you edit files in the Angular part of the app, the whole page will reload.
Run tests
yarn jest
Recompile backend on source change
To rebuild on source change.
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run
Open grafana in your browser (default: http://localhost:3000
) and login with admin user (default: user/pass = admin/admin
).
Building a docker image (on linux/amd64)
This builds a docker image from your local sources:
- Build the frontend
go run build.go build-frontend
- Build the docker image
make build-docker-dev
The resulting image will be tagged as grafana/grafana:dev
Dev config
Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options. You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
- grafana.ini
- custom.ini
In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading ;
) sign. And set app_mode = development
.
Running tests
Frontend
Execute all frontend tests
yarn test
Writing & watching frontend tests
- Start watcher:
yarn jest
- Jest will run all test files that end with the name ".test.ts"
Backend
# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using mysql as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/mysql_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using postgres as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/postgres_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/...
Building custom docker image
You can build a custom image using Docker, which doesn't require installing any dependencies besides docker itself.
git clone https://github.com/grafana/grafana
cd grafana
docker build -t grafana:dev .
docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana:dev
Open grafana in your browser (default: http://localhost:3000
) and login with admin user (default: user/pass = admin/admin
).
