How do I change the Grafana default credentials

[cotjoey]

Hello,

I am trying to change the default Grafana credentials from admin/admin to something else.

You documentation suggests loading the file 'manifests/grafana/grafana-credentials.yaml', but that file is nowhere to be found in the project.

I am reading that the environment variables to use are:

GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD

... but I don't know how to implement them with your project without modifying the deployment YAML. Is there an easier way to override this without modifying the source code?

Thank you in advance,
Joey

To answer my own question, this is the only things I found so far, to change the admin password in an idempotent fashion:

GRAFANA_POD=$(kubectl get pods --selector=app=grafana -n monitoring | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
kubectl exec --stdin --namespace="monitoring" --tty $GRAFANA_POD -- /bin/bash -c "grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password $GRAFANA_ADMIN_PASSWORD"
