Done:

  • installed grafanimate following how to setup
  • created folder animations
  • created scenario.py:
import logging
from datetime import datetime

from grafanimate.model import AnimationScenario, AnimationSequence, SequencingMode

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


def hourly():

    logger.info("Running Bautraube hourly")

    return AnimationScenario(
        grafana_url="https://swarm.hiveeyes.org/",
        dashboard_uid="epWh_vyIz",
        sequences=[
            AnimationSequence(
                start="2024-05-21T17:00:00Z",
                stop="now",
                every="1h",
                mode=SequencingMode.CUMULATIVE,
            ),
        ],
    )


def daily():

    logger.info("Running Bautraube daily")

    return AnimationScenario(
        grafana_url="https://swarm.hiveeyes.org/",
        dashboard_uid="epWh_vyIz",
        sequences=[
            AnimationSequence(

                every="1d",
                mode=SequencingMode.CUMULATIVE,

Please report problems to Issues · grafana-toolbox/grafanimate · GitHub. Currently, I don’t have much capacities, but there are chances other people from the community may be able to support.

I am not sure you will be able to run this on a Raspberry Pi or similar, but I also don’t have any solid information that it doesn’t work per se. Good luck!

Maybe you are tripping into Debian Firefox ESR not used · Issue #18 · grafana-toolbox/grafanimate · GitHub. There may have been a fix with find_firefox: Improve finding executable to `firefox-esr` · grafana-toolbox/grafanimate@10b9b2d · GitHub, but apparently, it may not have been converged into a corresponding release.

In this case, you may want to try to install directly from the repository, preferably into a Python virtualenv.

pip install 'grafanimate @ git+https://github.com/grafana-toolbox/grafanimate'

(i am not trying this on a pi. its a linux mint 21.3 desktop. still not a debian: firefox-esr not available.)

i pip installed grafanimate like you proposed.

firefox is found but now im tripping into timeout looking for firefox-marionette at 127.0.0.1:2828:

thanks so far!
i will deliver this error message to grafanimate’s issues page.

Update: It is working on a more or less clean Debian 12 system.
so: solved!
thanks again!

(and yes, it takes another few week until it is a real clip.)
