Charts: [stable/grafana] use grafana-image-render

[jinleileiking]

By default, does not use grafana-image-renderer

We need a solution for this. https://github.com/grafana/grafana-image-renderer/blob/master/docs/remote_rendering_using_docker.md

is a way for this.

But this docker needs a helm chart, and there is another question:

How can this pod (grafana-image-render pod) communicate with grafana pod?

[rust84]

I created my own helm chart for this. It would be great if the operator could be updated to allow us to deploy the image through the chart. For example:

renderImage:
  enabled: true
  repository: grafana/grafana-image-renderer
  tag: 1.0.7

Setting environment variables works for now:

grafana:
  env:
    GF_EXPLORE_ENABLED: true
    GF_RENDERING_SERVER_URL: http://grafana-image-renderer:8081/render
    GF_RENDERING_CALLBACK_URL: http://prometheus-operator-grafana/
    GF_LOG_FILTERS: rendering:debug

@rust84 Can you give the link?

Now that Grafana 7.0 removed built-in image rendering, this seems even more important to move forward, so we can do it within our existing helm-based deployments.

In case someone else is stumbling across this and needs a quickfix with the current chart:

    extraContainers: |
      - name: renderer
        image: grafana/grafana-image-renderer:latest

    env:
      GF_RENDERING_SERVER_URL: http://localhost:8081/render
      GF_RENDERING_CALLBACK_URL: http://localhost:3000/

This issue is being automatically closed due to inactivity.

I think this is still a valid request and needed.

Let's move the issue to the grafana helm2-chart repo itself? Is it possible?
