In mail alert you have two options or links to to “View your alert” and “Go to alerts”. Both links redirects you to “localhost”. Dead link, in fact. How can I replace or define localhost with IP address, so both links will lead me to somethink usefull and not to dead “localhost”.
Maybe, I have to replace http_addr with IP address of my server. But I am running Grafana in docker and there is no way to simple edit grafana.ini. As long as I know, I have to edit grafana.env. OK, but what I have ti write into this file to define http_addr? I have tried GF_SERVER_HTTP_ADDR but this doesn’t work.
Easy for for making grafana.ini editable: run the container with this volume mount:
-v ./grafana/etc:/etc/grafana:ro
Now you can edit /etc/grafana/grafana.ini inside the container simply by editing ./grafan/etc/grafana.ini
I changed root_url to “root_url = http://DOCKERHOST.MYDOMAIN:3000”
Thank You for the hint. It is a good idea. But are does those changes persistant if i delete container or image?
I have found settings in grafana.env: GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://IP_of_server:3000

Since I do a bind mount (the -v ./grafana/etc:/etc/grafana:ro), the config file which is in ./grafana/etc/grafana.ini is kept outside the container, so it’s persistent.
In your case you can set a variable in grafana.env, which works too. It does only work as long as you can use those special environment variables though, but in your case that’s ok.
