**seriouslly dirty workaround** (probably not appriciated by the linux admin):

mkdir -p /grafana  
mkdir -p /grafana/redirect  
sudo mount -r --bind /home/pi/redirect/sqlite3 /grafana/redirect

define data source as /grafana/redirect/redirect.db → works

fstab entry:  
`/home/pi/redirect/sqlite3 /grafana/redirect none bind 0 0`

does the plugin and / or grafana has a problem with anything in /home?
