OAuth/LDAP are great for large organizations. Small organizations don't need such complexity.

Even if you use OAuth/LDAP for accounts and passwords, Grafana still requires manual steps to create the organization, install plugins, and set the admin password. I wrote a Python script to do this on Docker container startup. That script is a workaround for Grafana server's poor ops design. It's extra code that we must maintain.

The admin password can be set with an environment variable. That just leaves the org and plugins.
