Update/upgrade grafana

c_PROG · March 26, 2020, 11:12am

Hello guys,
I use on my rpi3 openhabian and I updated, upgraded my system and i installed the last stable release of openhabian (2.5.3-1).
On my rpi I use grafana. I noted that for example the software it wasn’t updated automatically and so I have allways the version 6.6.1.
Someone know how can I update/upgrade grafana? Can I simple use this instruction:

Ubuntu and Debian(ARMv7)SHA256: df2f817f861789d280c927da6b59f8e6521570806158dde294bfa2e11d1b6f73

sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1
wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb

Thank you for our support!

that’s what I did two day ago. Works without issues. You just have to configure grafana.ini so that the panels can be embedded again.

in grafana.ini, go to [security] section and add

allow_embedding = true

save and restart grafana and you’re finished

@Sascha_Billian:
Thank you for your fast anwser.
I have just configured the grafana.ini file like your post but grafana wasn’t updated updated…

Sascha_Billian · March 26, 2020, 2:02pm

No, that was a misunderstanding. after updating grafana (using the deb package), you will need to add this line into the configuration, otherwise you cannot embed your charts into the BasicUI or HabPanel

@Sascha_Billian:
Oh sorry.
For understanding:

So can I use this instruction for my rpi3:

Ubuntu and Debian(ARMv7)SHA256: df2f817f861789d280c927da6b59f8e6521570806158dde294bfa2e11d1b6f73

sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1
wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb

configure the grafana.ini so that the panels can be embedded again: in grafana.ini, go to [security] section and add

allow_embedding = true

save and restart grafana and you’re finished.
3. The new version of Grafana work like the old version on my openhabian distribution and the old projects of grafana (dashboards) exists.

It is correct?

Sascha_Billian · March 26, 2020, 2:16pm

Yes, that’s what I did. And it worked

c_PROG · March 26, 2020, 2:20pm

@Sascha_Billian:
perfect. I will try it.
Thank you for our support!!!

Than I have rebooted my rpi but when I insert in my browser IP-ADRESS:3000/login I allways say the old version of grafana.
What I have done wrong?

@H102:
I have just clicked the square box on the post that provided the solution to mark topic as solved. It isn’t visible?

H102 · March 26, 2020, 3:00pm

Yes, it’s visible, but IMHO you gave credit to the wrong person. @Sascha_Billian provided the solution you just retyped it.

c_PROG · March 26, 2020, 3:05pm

Sorry, in all cases @Sascha_Billian has earned the credit!!! I chanched it immediately.
I didn’t know about the credits, sorry.
Thanky ou for the info.

H102 · March 26, 2020, 3:08pm

Not a big deal, you can change the check mark to a different post if you like. Giving the credit to the proper post is just a way to, well give credit to the person that took the time to help with an issue.

Sascha_Billian · March 26, 2020, 3:10pm

Erm, so you just downloaded the new grafana setup, but missed the part to install it:

sudo dpkg -i grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb

you might want to rename the file first, since it was downloaded as

grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb.1

So:

mv grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb.1 grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb

after that, make the changes in grafana.ini and then you just need to reboot grafana

jswim788 · March 26, 2020, 3:44pm

Just curious, but why wouldn’t you set up the repo as directed in the Grafana install instructions? Then you can upgrade easily in the future. They have ARM instructions now (which they didn’t have in the past).

c_PROG · March 26, 2020, 5:49pm

@Sascha_Billian:
Thank you for your helpfulness.
Now I have done this:

[16:11:14] openhabian@openhab:~$ mv grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb.1 grafana_6.7.1_armhf.deb

[16:18:09] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo dpkg -i grafana_6.7.1_armhf.de

dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘grafana_6.7.1_armhf.de’: No such file or directory

[16:18:42] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo nano /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

[16:19:25] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo reboot

but still it doesn’t work.

When I open the grafana.ini file i see “allow_embedding = true”.
After a reboot I insert on my browser “IP-ADRESS:3000/login”. I allways see the old version of grafana
What am I doing wrong or have I misunderstood something?

@jswim788:
Thank you for your input. Good to know!
Can I use this way even to update grafana (when I just installed it)?

Sascha_Billian · March 26, 2020, 6:50pm

Maybe only the cache of your browser needs to be cleared. It clearly says that Grafana 6.7.1 is installed.

robb01 · March 27, 2020, 1:33am

As per @jswim788 if you

echo "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list

and then

sudo apt-get update

you can update just Grafana any time a new version is available with

sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install grafana

c_PROG · March 27, 2020, 10:22am

@Sascha_Billian, @robb01:
Thank you for our inputs.
I dont’ know why my update/upgrade don’t work or I don’t see the new version of grafana.
On my rpi i get this messages:

and

[10:56:28] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install grafana

grafana is already the newest version (6.7.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

→ It clearly says that Grafana 6.7.1 is installed, too.

I reboot the rpi and my windows pc. But when I insert on my browser “IP-ADRESS:3000/login” and I click than on the question mark I allways see the old version (Grafana v6.6.1 (21bf8b71bc)) of grafana

jswim788 · March 27, 2020, 4:03pm

Did you do a refresh in your browser? On Chrome that’s a control-shift-R. What browser are you using?

Try from a different PC or tablet. I suspect 6.7.1 is indeed installed, but your browser is using cached content as @Sascha_Billian says above.

c_PROG · March 27, 2020, 4:33pm

@jswim788:
I use chrome and firefox.
Both browsers always show the old version. Even after a reboot.
Even a refresh in chrome with your key combination has brought no change.
On my tablet with chrome I only see the old version.

It may be that I have to delete something from the “old version”.
It’s funny that on one side it is installed the new version and on the other side I only see the old one.

For me not understandable…
