Startup fails when using grafana-image-renderer

[jclaveau]

When I use configure Grafana like

GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-piechart-panel,grafana-worldmap-panel,grafana-clock-panel,grafana-simple-json-datasource,grafana-image-renderer

(It works like a charm without grafana-image-renderer)

Then I get

logger=plugin.grafana-image-renderer t=2024-02-06T09:38:10.965373828+01:00 level=error msg="plugin process exited" plugin=/var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer/plugin_start_linux_amd64 id=125 error="exit status 127"
...
Error: ✗ *rendering.RenderingService run error: Unrecognized remote plugin message:
Failed to read any lines from plugin's stdout
This usually means
the plugin was not compiled for this architecture,
the plugin is missing dynamic-link libraries necessary to run,
the plugin is not executable by this process due to file permissions, or
the plugin failed to negotiate the initial go-plugin protocol handshake
Additional notes about plugin:

This error may have been fixed with the 9.0.7 version as written here grafana/grafana#52739
but i'm running the 10.3.1 one (My service is up to date with your repo).

As they say, they cannot reproduce this bug so, could you please check you have the same error than me with it and, if it's the case, I could file a new bug on Grafana repo with a way to reproduce it?

Anyway, thank you very much for your work!

This plugin is not compatible with the current Grafana Docker image and requires additional system-level dependencies.
grafana/grafana-image-renderer#475

docker image is only way at the moment
