Tutorial - Grafana rendering on Raspberry Pi

kugelsicha · July 5, 2019, 5:56am

i have the exact same content in my plugin.json file.
I also had to open this via sudo su with root…
so i guess it could be a permission issue with the openhabian user maybe?

I suspect you are correct that there is a permission issue going on here. My setup is using the OpenHabian install and I don’t recall making any permission updates. The directories are secured by root and for me it seems to work. If you have any other diagnostic information I can compare to my setup. Cheers d

Hi @David_deMarco,

i finally got the plugin loaded… after i manually updated my openhabian to the latest grafana stable (6.2.5)
I see in the Log that the plugin is loaded. yay!

so i cant get it to work to display the graph…
i added this to my grafana.ini

[rendering]
server_url=http://renderer:8081/render

and used this in my HABPanel

http://renderer:8081/render/d-solo/XXXXXX/mini-graphs?refresh=5m&orgId=1&panelId=9&from=now/d&to=now

and i get the error “couldnt find the server-ip of renderer”

Die Server-IP-Adresse von renderer wurde nicht gefunden.

so what i’m missing here?

Thanks

http://renderer … either your hosts file or your router have to translate it to IP somehow, so you have to configure it

on local network, convention should be
http://hostname.local -> routers are mostly able to give IP to that name if your device hostname is configured properly

otherwise it’s kind of better to just use pure IP where possible

Can somebody help me?

David_deMarco · September 2, 2019, 9:47am

Hi.
Just to confirm. The tutorial was not about installing phantomJS as that no longer is supplied. Rather the alternative rendering engine is installed.

Also I note that the plugin has been updated recently so the instructions may not be accurate.

Creamers158 · September 16, 2019, 4:52pm

Hi David,

I tried to use the phantomjs bin file but as I read your comments I understand that will not work anymore.
So I tried the grafana-image-renderer as instructed, but the yarn install --pure-lockfile gives me the following errors on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) :

Any suggestions or tips? (Is it even possible on arm ?)

David,

I followed your tutorial on how to build the Grafana-renderer… but no luck. I get the following errors:

Any ideas what’s going wrong?
I am using Grafana 6.4, and openhab milestone build 2.5.0~M3…

Thanks in advance!

David_deMarco · October 3, 2019, 11:23pm

From the research, I have done is that this is broken. Have been learning NodeJS so might have some time to look deeper into this.

schrma · October 20, 2019, 5:57pm

Thanks for your interesting tutorial, but unfortunately I had the same problem as deichgraf Hauke. I am using Grafana 6.4 and openhab 2.4.0. Any ideas? Thanks!

David_deMarco · November 1, 2019, 8:56pm

Have done some research on this and think it is a problem with typescript compiling on the RPI 4. Now this update is provisional as I need to rebuild my RPI4 testing box.

So using the instructions above download the file from git and run upto

yarn install --pure-lockfile

now we have to do abit of editing of a source file

cd src
nano grpc-plugin.ts

add the ignore line above the export to tell Typescript to ignore it.

// @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
export const GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO = grpc.load(GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO_PATH).grpc.health.v1;

and again here

    // @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
    server.addService(RENDERER_PROTO.Renderer.service, {

save the file and now run yarn build

yarn run build

it should now complete without errors. Please let me know if plugin now loads.

David_deMarco · November 4, 2019, 10:23am

Hi Christian
There is definitively something odd with permission. However I think I have a working version now.
Git download
Change into directory

sudo npm i grpc
sudo npm i install
yarn run build

(The install of grpc would occur with the overall install, but satisfying to see install after so many failures.)

Now copy the start file to arm version

cp plugin_start_linux_amd64 plugin_start_linux_arm

Now stop following tutorial which I will give a huge edit to and restart the graphana service. Mine is now showing service has started.

Chrishab · November 5, 2019, 9:01am

Hi @David_deMarco,

Thank you so much! I finally was able to install the plugin with the following:

apt-get update
apt-get install git
sudo su (could not access the folder with my regular user)
cd /var/lib/grafana/plugins
git clone https://github.com/grafana/grafana-image-renderer
cd grafana-image-renderer
npm config set unsafe-perm=true (had to do this in order to make the gprc install work)
npm i grpc
npm i install
npm install (otherwise it would complain about "tsc not found")
cd src
nano grpc-plugin.ts

// @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
export const GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO = grpc.load(GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO_PATH).grpc.health.v1;

// @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
    server.addService(RENDERER_PROTO.Renderer.service, {

cd ..
yarn run build
cp plugin_start_linux_amd64 plugin_start_linux_arm

systemctl restart grafana-server.service
sudo apt install gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget
sudo apt install chromium

Now I have the problem that the image is not being generated…
It seems that there is an issue with puppeteer.

I found this, but it doe snot really solve the problem (same error message).

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

EdwardV · November 7, 2019, 7:33am

Hi @Chrishab, @David_deMarco,
I’m facing the same “Rendering failed: Error: Failed to launch chrome!” issue.
The deployment of the rendering module was really smooth, no errors at all. During the install I also noticed Chrome getting installed. After restart of Grafana the module is loaded and listed.
This is happening on a Raspberry Pi 4, latest Openhabian test release.
I have the exact same deployment running on an Ubuntu VM. Followed the same deployment steps listed here and the result is a perfectly operating rendering module.
So it seems Buster / Raspberry related?

Thnx,
E

David_deMarco · November 7, 2019, 12:08pm

Hi all
Okay. I getting abit confused on this all with regards to the Chrome install.

My last test was on a blank install of OpenHabian then followed the instructions I thought I had edited.

Seen some other versions of the install so not sure how to update this yet. I removed all the additional info on adding chrome as my install worked without it

Appreciate a few users are following this so will try and recreate it this again. Please be aware I am offline travelling until 10 Dec from next week.

Don’t do the instructions of installing Chrome. I know they were in the first set and I thought I had removed them.

The Current instruction will include pupeteer and you don’t need to install chrome and all that. This worked for me on a fresh test install.

Understand that I now seem to be the lead on how this works and happy to follow up on that. Please be aware I’m not around for the next month so all follow up details welcome.

EdwardV · November 12, 2019, 8:10am

Hey @David_deMarco, thanks for the hard work on this, really appreciated.
Just wanted to let you know I gave up on rendering on the Pi4. I’ve done a couple of fresh installs on the Pi using Openhabian as a base OS (I’m quite the expert on this these days) and I must say everything (time over time) evrything worked perfectly except the last mile . . the rendering.
I already had an Ubuntu VM that I used for testing and found that running Grafana on that VM rendered like a charm.
So now I removed Grafana from my ‘production’ Pi4 (kept Influx on the Pi4) and use the Ubuntu based Grafana as a centralized instance for Graphing and Rendering using various databases running on different Pi’s.

shutterfreak · November 14, 2019, 12:34pm

For what it’s worth, this will NOT work on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ on Buster.

Some node.js packages can’t be installed (puppeteer, husky) and the compilation aborts in a matter of seconds.

rkrisi · November 14, 2019, 12:43pm

I have the same problem… Everything works on the Pi4, and it finally can handle all my things in one device, but the rendering doesn’t seem to work… I tried it multiple times, always stuck somewhere…

thisisIO · November 16, 2019, 10:20pm

Hello,

David_deMarco:

add the ignore line above the export to tell Typescript to ignore it.

// @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
export const GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO = grpc.load(GRPC_HEALTH_PROTO_PATH).grpc.health.v1;

and again here

    // @ts-ignore: the nested grpc objects are not recognized by ts
    server.addService(RENDERER_PROTO.Renderer.service, {
