Not pressing "Log in" for local auth

[David-Igou]

What I expect to happen: I run /usr/bin/grafana-kiosk -c /home/pi/grafana-kiosk/grafana-kiosk-config.yaml and grafana-kiosk opens chromium and logs into my instance of grafana.

What happens: Chromium loads as fullscreen as expected, it loads my grafana login page, and then enters the login and password. But it does not log in

System: Raspberry Pi Zero 1.1 running latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite, Openbox
Grafana version: grafana/grafana:8.3.4 - deployed via kube-prometheus
config:

general:
  kiosk-mode: full
  autofit: true
  lxde: false

target:
  login-method: local
  username: mygrafanaadmin
  password: changeme
  playlist: false
  URL: https://user:password@grafana.myroute
  ignore-certificate-errors: false

My instance of grafana is behind a basic htpasswd ingress + it does local login. Not sure if that's relevant, but I've recreated this issue with and without it.

Let me know any other information I can provide

Just for clarity, this is what my kiosk hangs at:

i'm currently running on 8.3.3, will update to 8.3.4 and try to repro (latest v8.3 is 8.3.7 and 8.4 is at 8.4.3)

[briangann]

just tried against v8.3.4 and it worked ok with local login, are you using the v1.0.4 build from here or building yourself?

So after investigating, this error is mainly a grafana issue but there are some issues with grafana-kiosk not recognizing certain variables that made it way more difficult to troubleshoot.

I don't know what's causing my error, but it's likely that it has something to do with my ingress controller or how my grafana instance is receiving traffic. When I kubectl port-forward and run grafana-kiosk against that it works.. so it's something on that end

Some issues I did face that might warrant their own separate issue is that a number of parameters just.. aren't recognized by grafana-kiosk? Maybe this is an OSX issue?

➜  ~ cat kiosk-config.yaml 
general:
  kiosk-mode: tv
  autofit: true

target:
  login-method: local
  playlist: true
  URL: myurl.com/d/playlist
  ignore-certificate-errors: true
➜  ~ ./grafana-kiosk.darwin.amd64 -c kiosk-config.yaml
2022/03/11 09:20:30 Using config from kiosk-config.yaml
2022/03/11 09:20:30 AutoFit: false
2022/03/11 09:20:30 LXDEEnabled: false
2022/03/11 09:20:30 LXDEHome: /home/pi
2022/03/11 09:20:30 Mode: full
2022/03/11 09:20:30 WindowPosition: 0,0
[etc]

So.. I actually found a workaround with settings that avoid this error, but is only working with flags. The config file option just ignores some options, and I didn't realize some of my settings weren't actually being set via the config.yaml for awhile

I'll review the config/env/flag issues, it does look like some were missed.

the key for login detection is the pattern matching, if the ingress is doing any kind of rewrite it may not work. there was a change between v6 and v7 also that caused this to break detection of the login page.
