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.
[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)
[server]
domain = foo.bar
Nginx configuration
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
[server]
domain = foo.bar
root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:/grafana
Nginx configuration with sub path
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm;
location /grafana/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
}
}
