Serving Grafana on a port < 1024

If you are using systemd and want to start Grafana on a port that is less than 1024, then you must add a systemd unit override.

  1. The following command creates an override file in your configured editor:
# Alternatively, create a file in /etc/systemd/system/grafana-server.service.d/override.conf
systemctl edit grafana-server.service

1 Add these additional settings to grant the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability. To read more about capabilities, see the manual page on capabilities.

[Service]
# Give the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

# A private user cannot have process capabilities on the host's user
# namespace and thus CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE has no effect.
PrivateUsers=false
