Installing plugin using docker compose

[patrick-5546]

I am getting the following error trying to install this plugin:

Error: ✗ /plugins/repo/meln5674-mongodb-community=https:/github.com/meln5674/grafana-mongodb-community-plugin/releases/download/v0.1.2/meln5674-mongodb-community.zip does not exist (Grafana v9.4.7 linux-amd64)

This is my docker compose file:

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana-enterprise:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports
      - "3000:3000"
    volumes:
      - ./grafana/provisioning/datasources:/etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources
      - grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana
    environment:
      - "GF_PLUGINS_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS=meln5674-mongodb-community"
      - "GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=meln5674-mongodb-community=https://github.com/meln5674/grafana-mongodb-community-plugin/releases/download/v0.1.2/meln5674-mongodb-community.zip"

Any idea what might be happening? It seems like the URL is not being passed through properly, as there is only one / after https:, but I'm not sure if this would cause the error.

It would seem that the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS syntax has diverged between the official grafana images and the bitnami grafana distribution images that I've been testing with. I will update the docs later today, but for now, use the following syntax, which I was able to get to work locally (albeit w/ grafana OSS):

- "GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=https://github.com/meln5674/grafana-mongodb-community-plugin/releases/download/v0.1.2/meln5674-mongodb-community.zip;meln5674-mongodb-community-plugin"

Thanks, now I can load grafana, but cannot add a mongodb data source. Everything works as expected with the bitnami image. Would you happen to know where I can mount volumes to persist data across containers for the bitnami image?

[meln5674]

Based on their github, it looks to be "/opt/bitnami/grafana/data"

[meln5674]

I've updated the README to point to examples for both the official and bitnami images for a variety of installation methods. Please try the one for your preferred combination and let me know if run into any further issues.

My preferred combination worked, thanks again for the help!
