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

docker-influxdb

InfluxDB image based on Alpine linux.

Usage

To create the image appcelerator/influxdb, execute the following command in this folder:

docker build -t appcelerator/influxdb .

You can now push new image to the registry:

docker push appcelerator/influxdb

Running your InfluxDB image

Start your image binding the external ports 8083 and 8086 in all interfaces to your container.

docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 appcelerator/influxdb

Docker containers are easy to delete. If you delete your container instance and your cluster goes offline, you'll lose the InfluxDB store and configuration. If you are serious about keeping InfluxDB data persistently, then consider adding a volume mapping to the containers /data folder.

Configuration (ENV, -e)

Variable	Description	Default value	Sample value
FORCE_HOSTNAME	Sets the hostname of the container	localhost	auto
ADMIN_USER	InfluxDB admin user	root	root
INFLUXDB_INIT_PWD	InfluxDB admin password	root	mlkj3l6$
PRE_CREATE_DB	list of databases to create, semi colon separated	None	telegraf
GRAPHITE_DB	Graphite database
GRAPHITE_BINDING	Graphite binding	:2003
GRAPHITE_PROTOCOL	Graphite protocol	tcp
GRAPHITE_TEMPLATE	Graphite template	instance.profile.measurement*
COLLECTD_DB	Collectd database
COLLECTD_BINDING	Collectd binding	:25826
COLLECTD_RETENTION_POLICY	Collectd retention policy
UDP_DB	UDP listener database		udp
UDP_PORT	UDP listener for InfluxDB line protocol data	8089
CONFIG_ARCHIVE_URL	URL of a configuration archive

Initially execute influxql script

Use the CONFIG_ARCHIVE_URL or alternatively use a local volume mapping to a file in /etc/extra-config/influxdb/ if you want a script to be executed the first time the container starts. Each influxql command on separated line. For example:

Docker run command

docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 -v /tmp/init_script.influxql:/etc/extra-config/influxdb/init_script.influxql:ro appcelerator/influxdb:latest

or docker run -d -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 -e CONFIG_ARCHIVE_URL=https://download.example.com/config/influxdb.tgz appcelerator/influxdb:latest

The influxdb script

ALTER  RETENTION POLICY default ON telegraf DURATION 1d SHARD DURATION 2h DEFAULT
CREATE RETENTION POLICY warm ON telegraf DURATION 15d REPLICATION 1 SHARD DURATION 1d

Any script found in /etc/extra-config/influxdb/ will be loaded at start.

The archive should contain under a top directory one or both directory:

• base-config/influxdb
• extra-config/influxdb
