Arch Linux User Repository

Please note that 32-bit ARM support (armv6 and armv7) has been temporarily disabled upstream: https://grafana.com/blog/2023/09/29/grafana-and-grafana-enterprise-updates-for-armv6-and-armv7-will-be-temporarily-paused/

I don't use 32-bit ARM personally. If you do, please pin your version and do not upgrade to v10.2. If 32-bit ARM support is resumed upstream, please mark the package as outdated to notify me and I will add it back.

@muesli Hi, the log path change seems to be introduced by an intended commit by @erkexzcx: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=grafana-bin&id=8d0c94c01f5d85e6b1583580c0eb147d41202ce6

@erkexzcx: Could you elaborate the reason of using /var/logs/ instead of /var/log/ ?

From the PKGBUILD:

install -dm755 "${pkgdir}/var/logs/grafana"

This looks like a typo: it should read /var/log.

Updated from 6.5 to 6.6.2 and now I'm also seeing this error:

Mar 06 08:59:04 alarm grafana-server[32113]: Failed to start grafana. error: failed to initialize file handler: open /usr/share/grafana/data/log/grafana.log: read-only file system

All issues should be fixed by now.

Just a notice to other maintainers and users - there is grafana package in official repos, so you should use that package instead. This package is relevant to those who use Arch Linux on non x86_64 architectures, such as Raspberry Pi (as this is the only binary version of Grafana for them).

Thanks. I will take a look at this AUR package during this week sometime.

@erkexzcx: I am sorry. I am busy in real life and haven't updated my own system for a while. I have made you a co-maintainer. Please help me fix this if you have time. Thanks a lot!

If you make me a maintainer, I can help fix these issues.

Please try to install this package on fresh system and see it yourself. Seems pretty much everything is broken and this package requires so much manual work to get it to work.

ExecStart=/usr/bin/grafana-server --config=/etc/grafana.ini

Should be

ExecStart=/usr/bin/grafana-server --config=/etc/grafana/grafana.ini

And in overall this AUR package is broken:

Hey. Any ideas why is this happening?

FS is not read-only - I can create new files in it.
