@Wilmer fa-grafana actually uses a Prometheus Docker container for time series storage. I haven’t had a chance to explore other data sources Grafana supports but I would like to at some point. Docker should make that easy to do.
Yikes, I see now, my apologies for having read this so poorly. 
Guess I just didn’t realise RasPi’s had the power to run this all. Fantastic to be able to dump medieval rrdtool.
[goes back to lurking mode as I should have]

Please could someone tell me how I resize the Grafana display so that I can see all the graphs in one view as per the examples above, instead of scrolling up and down.
Many thanks
Zoom out browser by keeping Ctrl key pressed and repeatedly pressing - key till you see all graphs.
To Zoom in, keep Ctrl key pressed and repeatedly press + key.
I could see all graphes when I zoomed out to 50%
Many thanks
Another problem. I have had to reboot my Pi. How do I get Grafana working again? I just get an error message ‘This site cannot be reached’
Thank you
To try and restart I have used the following ‘sudo docker-compose up -d’ but get the following error messages:
pi@raspberrypi:~/fa-grafana $ sudo docker-compose up -d

@NigelRichardson If the containers are running and you reboot, it should start up again so there is no need to restart them.
To list all the running containers, use
sudo docker-compose ps
To restart the containers, use
sudo docker-compose restart
Let me know if you need help.
Hi
I’ve tried both of those commands but get the following error messages:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo docker-compose ps

@NigelRichardson Let’s try stopping and removing any containers:
sudo docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
sudo docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
Then cd into the fa-grafana directory and start them again:
sudo docker-compose up -d
If that doesn’t work, check if you have something else running on port 9105.
Please excuse my ignorance as I’ve never dabbled with docker. Followed the instructions, added the proper local ip to the .env file and I’m seeing this: (RPI4, 3.7.2 addon):
Thanks for your suggestions but still no joy -see attached.
I don’t have anything else running on the Rpi other than Dump1090-fa, pfclient and feed to FR24. I actually had it working fine last night and it was only after the reboot that the problems started. Is it worth starting from the beginning again?
Many thanks
No Bueno:
dump1090exporter | INFO:aiohttp.access:172.18.0.3 [25/Apr/2020:21:02:42 +0000] “GET /metrics HTTP/1.1” 200 5612 “-” “Prometheus/2.17.1”

dump1090exporter | ERROR:dump1090exporter.exporter:Error fetching dump1090 aircraft data: Fetch failed 403: http://192.168.2.127:8080/data/aircraft.json
8080 is a no-go for package add-on (non pre-canned sd image). Map is {IP}/dump1090.php
@Nitr0 Ah okay. Is /data/aircraft.json accessible on your package install?
dump1090exporter will look for this json to collect metrics so you’ll need to edit the docker-compose.yml file and change the following line:
--url=http://${HOST_IP:?IP_ADDRESS_UNSET_ERROR}:8080
to point to the url serving /data/aircraft.json
Maybe try --url=http://${HOST_IP:?IP_ADDRESS_UNSET_ERROR}/dump1090-fa
Then restart the docker containers:
sudo docker-compose stop
sudo docker-compose up -d

@eric1tran That did the trick, thanks kindly 
The readout is a little wonky (Chrome 1920x1200), but it’s pulling data:
Disregard signal level as this is my Airspy rig.
Is there a relatively easy way to upgrade the FA-Grafana software or be able to determine if any updates have been made? I see the Docker repository is added after installation, but not sure if that covers all software relevant to FA-Grafana.
@timothydykstra82 A git pull on the repository and restart of the docker containers is the current method. Once we get this next FlightFeeder release out, I will revisit fa-grafana and look into improving the process and implementing some new features.
