Grafana using virtual machine (Ubuntu-Azure)

Question

How can I access Grafana using Ubuntu-Azure VM? I have sudo user privilege. I'm trying to access Grafana using Ubuntu so that my team can work on the same dashboard from different locations. Please help.

Answer 1

The Azure Ubuntu VM is a Linux OS without desktop so that you cannot access Grafana as you do in your local machine via the web browser. You need to install the desktop for the Ubuntu VM. Then you can access Grafana via the web browser. Here are the steps that Install a desktop environment on your Linux VM .

But it's not a good idea to use the desktop in Ubuntu VM, it will waste a lot of resources. Windows Os is better at desktop than Ubuntu.
