Hello all, I am currently running grafana with influxdB locally on my raspberry pi. I access via the browser using localhost:8086. I was wondering if there is anyway for me to share the dashboard with someone else even though it is running locally? I only want to share with permission to view the dashboard and not modify it. Of course until now i have had no success because all of the links to share are localhost. ---

You just need to open access to InfluxDB to the network range the someone else is on and they can get the same data as you can. Out of interest, why are you using browser database mode instead of server database mode? > I only want to share with permission to view the dashboard and not modify > it. That’s a completely different question. Let’s just deal with simple access first. > Of course until now i have had no success because all of the links to share > are localhost. Have you tried changing those to the IP address of the InfluxDB / Grafana server? Are you talking about someone else in the same network range as the Pi, or someone else across the Internet?

Hi thanks for your reply > You just need to open access to InfluxDB to the network range the someone else > is on and they can get the same data as you can. Yes this is actually what I would like to do but im not too sure how. > Are you talking about someone else in the same network range as the Pi, or > someone else across the Internet? I would like someone else to view it outside of my network. Thanks ---

Have you tried changing “localhost” in the links to the IP address of the InfluxDB / Grafana (Pi) server? > > Are you talking about someone else in the same network range as the Pi, > > or someone else across the Internet? > > I would like someone else to view it outside of my network. I’m going to assume that means “from the Internet”, so you’re going to have to allow inbound access to your Grafana server (the Pi) and that’s beyond the realm of this support list - that’s a question of network access and port forwarding, best asked on a general Linux support list.
