| Set up Environment |
Before you can get started building plugins, you need to set up your environment for plugin development.
To discover plugins, Grafana scans a plugin directory, the location of which depends on your operating system.
-
Create a directory called
grafana-pluginsin your preferred workspace. -
Find the
pluginsproperty in the Grafana configuration file and set thepluginsproperty to the path of yourgrafana-pluginsdirectory. Refer to the Grafana configuration documentation for more information.[paths] plugins = "/path/to/grafana-plugins" -
Restart Grafana if it's already running, to load the new configuration.
Alternative method: Docker
If you don't want to install Grafana on your local machine, you can use Docker.
To set up Grafana for plugin development using Docker, run the following command:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd)"/grafana-plugins:/var/lib/grafana/plugins --name=grafana grafana/grafana:7.0.0
Since Grafana only loads plugins on start-up, you need to restart the container whenever you add or remove a plugin.
docker restart grafana
