after struggling a bit i found out the the error was caused by a missing entry type: file

apiVersion: 1

providers:
  - name: 'Default'
    type: file <-- i was missing this line 
    options:
      path: /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards

i was assuming that this is a default as written in the docs
