I have to admit I'm in the same position.
trying to use the wind-rose for my "self-built" weather station, but I don't understand how to gather the data in grafana.
Currently all data is collected/available through prometheus. How can I get grafana to use the data and display the windrose?

Thx for any advice

Hi. I've been experimenting around a bit too.
In the end, I did it the way the instructions said.

1. Loaded everything from git hub:
   git clone https://github.com/spectraphilic/grafana-windrose.git
2. Stopped Grafana-Docker container,
3. Copied it manually to my Docker-Grafana installation at: /var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-windrose.
4. Started Grafana-Docker container and
5. Looked in the plugin settings to see if it's there.

A bit difficult were the settings, because at the first call everything was empty.

A graphic was only shown when I had set the value for "Step" from "0" to "1" under "Options".
The remaining problems concerned the Influx DB query. I answer these here: #6 (comment)

But sorry,

containers: - env: - name: GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS - value: grafana-piechart-panel, grafana-simple-json-datasource, bessler-pictureit-panel, btplc-status-dot-panel, fatcloud-windrose-panel

isn't "fatcloud-windrose-panel" the other plugin provided by Grafana (see top on left my screenshot)? The one from Github is on my bottom right?

Sorry. You're right. I removed my comment.

Just a few things to check if your plot does not appear.

1. Ensure all the files and the directory in the grafana plugins are owned by grafana:grafana
2. Set
   app_mode = development
   in the grafana.ini , doing this I found loads of other unsigned plugins I had given up on trying to get working :) .
3. Check the log file (/var/log/grafana/grafana.log) to see if the plugin is loaded, you should see winge messages
   lvl=warn msg="Permitting unsigned plugin. This is not recommended" logger=plugin.signature.validator pluginID=spectraphilic-windrose-panel pluginDir=/var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-windrose/dist
   This is good, and the hopefully the plugin will be visible in the plugin list
4. Some browsers appear to ignore changes to grafana's plugin list, try another browser, or delete history on your current browser, restart.

Now I have loverly wind speed / gust panels, lost since v7? of grafana, and not reinstated as suggested by the grafana team.
To the author, thanks for a loverly plot, please keep up the good work and hopefully this plugin will become the defacto standard.

I'm having similar issues.
Grafana is running in docker.
I've managed to install the plugin, it shows in the list of installed plugins.
I've set the mode to development.
I've added the plugin as instructed in the ini file.
I've hard reset the browser, tried a different browser etc etc.
I've tried the permissions to grafana:grafana but the group grafana does not seem to exist anymore so I set them to grafana:root - this could be the problem?
I'm not sure where the logs are in docker, so haven't checked them.

The plugin is still not showing in grafana

All and any help is appreciated...

edit, link to changes to user and group
grafana/grafana#28614

edit:
I fixed it, I hadn't realised that a ";" in the ini file meant that the line was commented out!
Got it installed now :)
