Configure nginx (or another reverse proxy) as a reverse proxy with TLS support in front of Grafana. Grafana supports TLS, but it doesn’t support any TLS configuration (especially cipher list configuration), so reverse proxy give you more TLS flexibility.

If you already have nginx with https then just reverse proxy from nginx to grafana.
