As the cli command shows you installed the plugin not a render server. You don’t have a render server hence nothing on 8081.
Use something like following by adding /render/ on any dashboard
localhost:3000/render/d/748hrhjdirj
example before render added in url path
example after render added in url path
I can do something like “http://localhost:3000/d/pc5AnppIz/ ” that I can copy form Panel → Settings → Share panel → Link URL, but I need automated rendering for reporting purposes (ruby-grafana-reporter). For that purpose I will need to activate Direct link rendered image. But I am stuck.
Any other reporting suggestion for OSS Grafana is welcome.

first off did using the suggested approach of adding /render/
to the dashabord url work?
No. If I add render I got some small icon.

did you clear out the settings you added to your .ini file that are supposed to be for render server which you do not have
server_url =
callback_url =
and restarted grafana?
It does not work. I cleared
server_url =
callback_url =
Tried with comment
;server_url =
;callback_url =

For testing, Install a separate grafana instance same version, install render plugin, create a simple dashboard, then try /render/
on that dashboard
No luck. Same problem. I have Grafana 10, could that be a problem?

Try latest version on the test instance
Just one question not connected to the present topic - what Grafana version support XY Chart?
