savoirfairelinux/docker-influxdb

Docker image to run an out-of-the-box InfluxDB server

docker-influxdb

InfluxDB image

Usage

To create the image savoirfairelinux/influxdb, execute the following command on docker-influxdb folder:

docker build -t savoirfairelinux/influxdb .

Running your InfluxDB image

Start your image binding the external ports 8083 and 8086 in all interfaces to your container. Ports 8090 and 8099 are only used for clustering and should not be exposed to the internet.

docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 --expose 8090 --expose 8099 savoirfairelinux/influxdb

Configuring your InfluxDB

Open your browse to access localhost:8083 to configure InfluxDB. Fill the port which maps to 8086. The default credential is root:root. Please change it as soon as possible.

Alternatively, you can use RESTful API to talk to InfluxDB on port 8086

Initially Create Database

Use -e PRE_CREATE_DB="db1;db2;db3" to create database named "db1", "db2", and "db3" on the first time the container starts automatically. Each database name is separated by ;`. For example:

docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -p 8084:8084 -e PRE_CREATE_DB="db1;db2;db3" savoirfairelinux/influxdb:latest
