Charts: [stable/grafana] Pod fails to start when plugins are configured to install
Version of Helm and Kubernetes:
Kubernetes: 1.10.3
Helm: 2.10.0
Which chart:
stable/grafana with grafana 5.2.4
What happened:
Deployed with the plugins section uncommented in the values.yaml file listing the basic clock plugin.
What you expected to happen:
Grafana deploys with the plug installed.
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Ensure this section is present in your values.yaml file when passed to the deployment.
## Pass the plugins you want installed as a list.
##
plugins:
- grafana-clock-panel
The following is shown on the pod as it crash-loops:
Failed to send requesterrorApi returned invalid status: 404 Not Found
Error: ✗ Failed to send request. error: Api returned invalid status: 404 Not Found
NAME:
Grafana cli plugins install - install <plugin id> <plugin version (optional)>
USAGE:
Grafana cli plugins install [arguments...]
Anything else we need to know:
Launching the deployment without any plugins is successful. The plugin can be installed manually while exec'd into the container:
grafana@grafana-666568d4cf-fhqz6:/$ grafana-cli plugins install grafana-clock-panel
installing grafana-clock-panel @ 0.1.0
from url: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-clock-panel/versions/0.1.0/download
into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins
✔ Installed grafana-clock-panel successfully
Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>

Ran into this problem, the solution is simple. The value of plugins in yaml must be a string, not a list. This is because it gets stringified and passed as an enviroment variable. Lists interpolate to [grafana-clock-panel, grafana-piechart-panel], not grafana-clock-panel,grafana-piechart-panel as expected. Don't do:
## Pass the plugins you want installed as a list.
##
plugins:
- grafana-clock-panel
Instead
## Pass the plugins you want installed as a comma separated string.
##
plugins: "grafana-clock-panel"

I use:
plugins:
- grafana-clock-panel
- digrich-bubblechart-panel
- grafana-worldmap-panel
- grafana-piechart-panel
- briangann-gauge-panel
in log:
installing grafana-clock-panel @ 1.0.0
from url: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/grafana-clock-panel/versions/1.0.0/download
into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins
✔ Installed grafana-clock-panel successfully
Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>
installing digrich-bubblechart-panel @ 1.1.0
from url: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/digrich-bubblechart-panel/versions/1.1.0/download
into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins
Wrong in _digrich-bubblechart-panel_. If i remove _digrich-bubblechart-panel_ then all plugins installed.

This didn't didn't solve the problem for me, still seeing the same error message.

Facing same problem here. Grafana was running smoothly until very recently, don't understand the reason. The solution suggested above didn't work for me. Grafana definition;
grafana:
restart: always
image: grafana/grafana
container_name: fiware-grafana
depends_on:
- postgres
ports:
- "53153:3000"
environment:
- GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=crate-datasource,grafana-clock-panel,grafana-worldmap-panel
volumes:
- ./grafana:/var/lib/grafana:rw

arilwan - did you be sure to change:
- GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=
to:
plugins:
?
Initially I skimmed zmailloux solution and only added quotes to:
- GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS="crate-datasource,grafana-clock-panel,grafana-worldmap-panel"
which failed. I then looked closer at the solution and changed to:
plugins: "crate-datasource,grafana-clock-panel,grafana-worldmap-panel"
and Grafana works once again

I didn't change anything, my grafana service definition (in compose file) is shown above, exactly as it is.

my grafana service definition matched yours but then I changed this:

to this:
plugins: "crate-datasource,grafana-clock-panel,grafana-worldmap-panel"

Try removing the - in front of plugins and making sure the indents are correct. The beginning of my docker-compose configuration is:

Even I want to install sysdig plugin for grafana which is not yet available on official & community built plugin page. So it needs to be installed manually but adding just below lines to values doesn't install this plugin inside grafana. Any idea??
env :
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS: "https://download.sysdig.com/stable/grafana-sysdig-datasource/grafana-sysdig-datasource-v0.7.zip;sysdig"
