Question: Signing the plugin as Private and Distribution

Grafana Plugin Development Signing & publishing
1

I have created a custom plugin and i want to distribute it to my clients along with grafana community edition.

I’m planning to get a Grafana cloud account and Sign in my plugin as Private. I will distribute this plugin as ZIP to my clients.

Question i have is Do my clients also need to have Grafana cloud account to access this plugin and validate its signature ?

Hi there.

No. Your clients don’t need access to cloud. Keep in mind a private plugin must be signed for each specific instance (domain) that will run it
