Does Grafana 13 actually work for anyone on NetBSD?

It doesn't, for me, at least not with InfluxDB as a datasource.

Unfortunately it's a similar, if not worse, story on illumos. The grafana package as shipped is effectively useless because it disables sqlite. I have some patches to fix this but it's incredibly low level (basically reimplementing libc in go) and seems completely at odds with go's portability promises.

Likewise, I had to compile the influxdb datasource from source, and you have to hack around the manifest so that it doesn't try to match it up to a known checksum.

It's all pretty terrible. I don't know how many CVEs grafana 11.x has at this point, but it would be nice to bring it back for users who just want something that actually works.
