Newbie query: Grafana not starting on Raspberry PI Buster 10

Grafana Installation

Hi,

I’ve followed the Grafana install documentation and it’s installed ok but fails to start. I get this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status grafana-server
● grafana-server.service - Grafana instance
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/grafana-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

If I start it, it works for a few seconds and then fails with the same error!

Thanks in advance.

Check Grafana server logs and search for errors there - there can be some issue in the config, which prevents Grafana to starts properly.

Thank you for the suggestions. Problem, as expected, was with the Pi itself, disk full. Got rid of some junk and it’s just fine.

Slava Ukraini!
