What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Deploying rhel8/grafana container image (https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/rhel8/grafana/5edf9c35dd19c7063a62aff6?architecture=amd64&image=6543c1717371c4bd30141cfc) within an OpenShift environment (via Grafana Operator, which populates the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS environment variable) fails because the grafana-cli wrapper script expects the user running it to be grafana or root. In an OpenShift deployment, the UID doesn't match 1001.

sh-4.4$ whoami
1000700000

sh-4.4$ /usr/sbin/grafana-cli
/usr/sbin/grafana-cli: please run this script as user "grafana" or root.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

grafana-9.2.10-7.el8_9.x86_64

registry.redhat.io/rhel8/grafana:9 (also same issue with rhel8/grafana:7 and rhel9/grafana:9).

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy Grafana image with a UID other than 1001 in OpenShift and populate the GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS environment variable via Deployment manifest, with a plugin parameter (e.g. grafana-polystat-plugin).

Expected results

Ability to override the grafana-cli wrapper script so it will ignore the user not being UID 1001, removal of the wrapper script, or container image using /usr/libexec/grafana/grafana-cli directly (like is done in the upstream docker.io/grafana/grafana image, which works with Grafana Operator and GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS).

/usr/share/grafana $ whoami
1000700000

/usr/share/grafana $ grafana-cli
NAME:
   Grafana CLI - A new cli application
[...]

Actual results

sh-4.4$ whoami
1000700000

sh-4.4$ /usr/sbin/grafana-cli
/usr/sbin/grafana-cli: please run this script as user "grafana" or root.
