I had trouble starting grafana.
I am running manjaro and installed it via:
$ yay -S grafana
Then i tried running it with:
$ grafana-server
but grafana gave me this error message:
Grafana-server Init Failed: Could not find config defaults, make sure homepath command line parameter is set or working directory is homepath
After looking around the net for a while i found out grafana uses the default location:
/usr/share/grafana/
so i set the homepath to that and the config path to:
/usr/share/grafana/conf/default.ini
Now grafana does eomthing when i type in grafana-server but it ends in error messages:
/usr/share/grafana c=3 grafana-server
Failed to start grafana. error: failed to initialize file handler: open /var/log/grafana/grafana.log: permission denied
so obvioulsy i tried running it with sudo but i get errors again:
EROR[09-18|22:21:45] can’t read datasource provisioning files from directory logger=provisioning.datasources path=/var/lib/grafana/conf/provisioning/datasources error=“open /var/lib/grafana/conf/provisioning/datasources: no such file or directory”

However i can visit 127.0.0.1:3000 and see the login. Does that mean i can just ignore the errors?
