Can't change admin password in CLI using Docker Container when used with Swarn Secrets

Grafana Configuration
1

Hello!

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
  • Grafana Version: 9.2.6
  • Docker version: 24.0.5
  • What are you trying to achieve?

Change admin password inside the Grafana container with CLI command (‘grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password password’)

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

Currently running Grafana with MariaDB as Backend, using a Swarn Stack. DB passwords are passed by Swarn Secrets.

If I set the variable “GF_DATABASE_PASSWORD__FILE” using Secrets, I can’t change the admin password inside the Grafana container with CLI command:

grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password password

But if I deploy my Stack passing the DB Password with the variable “GF_DATABASE_PASSWORD”, I can change the password as expected.

  • What did you expect to happen?

In both configurations, I expected to change the Admin password with CLI.

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

Stack Config with Secrets, not Working:
