Running Grafana behind a reverse proxy

It should be straight forward to get Grafana up and running behind a reverse proxy. But here are some things that you might run into.

Links and redirects will not be rendered correctly unless you set the server.domain setting.

Copy

[server]
domain = foo.bar

To use sub path ex http://foo.bar/grafana make sure to include /grafana in the end of root_url. Otherwise Grafana will not behave correctly. See example below.

Examples

Here are some example configurations for running Grafana behind a reverse proxy.

Grafana configuration (ex http://foo.bar.com)

Copy

[server]
domain = foo.bar

Nginx configuration

Copy

server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/www;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location / {
   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
  }
}

Examples with sub path (ex http://foo.bar.com/grafana)

Grafana configuration with sub path

Copy

[server]
domain = foo.bar
root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:/grafana

Nginx configuration with sub path

Copy

server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/www;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location /grafana/ {
   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
  }
}
