Dears,
Is it possible to map an external volume to the container? For when you need to restart the container or other such activity, the user account settings remain valid.
I was able to map the plugins volume:
- ./var/lib/grafana/plugins:/var/lib/grafana/plugins
I’ve tried mapping so that user account data is persisted. But I did not succeed.
This my docker-compose.yml
version: ‘2’
services:
monitor:
restart: always
image: semantix/grafana
environment:
- GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
- GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-clock-panel,grafana-simple-json-datasource,foursquare-clouderamanager-datasource
volumes:
- ./var/lib/grafana/plugins:/var/lib/grafana/plugins
- .:/home
networks:
- connection
ports:
- 3000:3000
networks:
connection:
You are using (private) semantix/grafana Docker image, so only maintainer of this image knows the exact structure of the image. If it is based on official Grafana Docker image, then check official doc: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#grafana-container-with-persistent-storage-recommended
Thanks for the answer.
Yes, the image that is pointed in the docker-compose is a local image. But it was generated from a Dockerfile:
If anyone can help, I will be very grateful.

It is mentioned in the doc: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#grafana-container-using-bind-mounts :
--volume "$PWD/data:/var/lib/grafana"
So use:
volumes:
- ./var/lib/grafana/:/var/lib/grafana
I recommend to read full doc - there is an important info about write permissions.
