docker-influxdb

Docker container for InfluxDB

See https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/introduction/overview.html for influxDB documentation

Currently under early development, may not result in a functionnal container.

Why this image?

I wanted to give access to a clean and well documented InfluxDB container, suitable for docker beginners as well as InfluxDB beginners.

It means this container has:

• a public git repository
• an up to date docker image
• explanations on its structure and how to use

mountpoints

Usefull mountpoints are:

• /opt/influxdb/shared/ - InfluxDB shared files, contains:
  • /opt/influxdb/shared/config.toml - config file
  • /opt/influxdb/shared/data/ - data files
• /var/log - log files.
  • /var/log/supervisor/ - init system log files, traces container's process start/stop/restart
  • /var/log/influxdb/ - influxdb log files

Ports

Exposed ports are:

• :8083 for admin interface
• :8086 for API
• :25826/udp for collectd
• :8090 and :8099 for cluster internals (Protobuf and Raft prococols) - not mandatory

Included files

• build.sh - Builds a Docker image from the git tree.
• start.sh - Creates and runs your InfluxDB container.
• Dockerfile - The recipe used by docker to create the image.
• configfiles/ - Additionnal files required for the image creation.
