Steps to run Grafana Local

1. Have Azure CLI available on PATH and logged in

• Note: Running this inside Docker is a bit tricky

1. Run Submodules

• git submodule update --recursive

1. Add the following to a new line in grafana/go.mod:

• replace github.com/grafana/grafana-azure-sdk-go => ../grafana-azure-sdk-go
• This will allow building Grafana with a local checkout

1. Build Grafana

• cd to grafana submodule
• yarn install --immutable
• go mod tidy (may not build in next step, if so, probably just run this again)
• make run
• Assuming all successful, will start running Grafana from port 3000, Ctrl+c out. Otherwise review errors

1. Build Infinity Plugin

• update .tool-versions and swap to Node 16
• yarn install --immutable
• yarn dev
• go mod tidy
• mage -v

1. Symlink the Plugin

• from root of repo
• cd plugins
• ln -s ../grafana-infinity-datasource/dist ./grafana-infinity-datasource

1. Start 'er up

• run start_server script from repo root (./start_server)
• for local dev, this is fine :)
