The following remote backup locations are supported: - AWS S3 - Google Storage - Azure Storage - S3 Compatible Storage (Minio, Ceph, etc)
Please find the generated documentation here and the code for updating the docs is available here
Quickstart
Supported Versions
GDG community will try to support the last 2 major version of grafana. Though there is nothing preventing you from using it with any version of grafana you are dependent on what the API supports/doesn't support and changes that have been added since then.
New features particularly related to Orgs, ACLs, roles etc are far less likely to work the older your version is.

Release conventions.
GDG mostly follows the semver conventions with some minor modifications.
For those that are unfamiliar semver references to X.Y.Z version patterns with
- X = Major version
- Y = Minor version
- Z= patch
Most regular releases will increment the patch number. ie. 0.4.5 is a regular release, and next normal release would be 0.4.6.
Minor version change will likely introduce some breaking change. For example, renaming datasources to connections or some configuration changes that are not backward compatible etc.
Major version: Is a major feature set change for example, removing cloud support in the base release and introducing a plugin system
would be 1.X release. Splitting the GDG binary into a tools and backup cli, or introducing a diff tooling that allow you to compare
contexts. i.e. gdg diff dashboards prod staging is a major divergences from the current expectations so it'll be a major version bump.

GDG is powered by the Grafana OpenAPI Client. Any feature exposed by the API could be added to GDG if desired, feel free to fill out a feature request on our GitHub issue tracker.
