FreeBSD Port: grafana7-7.1.3

[Brandon McCorkle]

Even so, it appears support for phantomjs has been removed in Grafana 7…

I’m just trying to find options to my issue.  I originally updated to Grafana 7 but with no Grafana image renderer plugin for FreeBSD, I downgraded to Grafana 6 but discovered phantomjs isn’t available in the ports collection any longer.

Hi Robson,

                With phantomjs deprecated are you aware of anyone working to get the Grafana image renderer plugin working on Freebsd?  I've recently updated our Icinga system been unable to find a way to render the graphs without phantomjs.

Thank you,

I'm a bit confused as to the removal of phantomjs. I've read the author's statement of the halt in development in March, 2018, but there was no deprecation announced and he did clean up the damaged master repo and restore the 2.1 development branch. He did not in any way indicate that it should not be used and it is still being used fairly widely. After a bit of a break, he has continued to make commits, the most recent in July. He seems unaware that FreeBSD has deleted the port as he still lists its availability.
