Hi all,  
could you please help guiding me in configuring Grafana with https ? Our Grafana environment is in Linux CentOS. I have tried some documentation without success.

Thank you so much.

Alexandre.

You’ll need to run Grafana behind a reverse proxy. Grafana itself doesn’t support HTTPS. See [http://docs.grafana.org/installation/behind\_proxy/#running-grafana-behind-a-reverse-proxy](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/behind_proxy/#running-grafana-behind-a-reverse-proxy)

When having `root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:%(http_port)s/` which basically are used for Grafana to understand what the public facing url. There’s a lot of confusion around these settings, but in normal cases we recommend setting `root_url = https://<your public facing url>/`.

I am trying to configure graffiti by https but they indicate that it is not compatible. Is there any possibility to configure https with certificates to serve the page safely?

I have ubuntu 18, apache and latest version of grafan

I am confused. Which graffiti are we talking about here? Can you give a link  
to the project page? I can only find it as a handwriting recognition for Palm  
OS, or a rather specialised application used in maths and chemisty…

> but they indicate that it is not compatible.

Who are ‘they’?

You can convert HTTP to HTTPS (and vice versa if you want) with a reverse  
proxy, and you can convert any TCP protocol to use TLS with stunnel.
