# Docker Image with InfluxDB and Grafana

This is a Docker image based on the awesome [Docker Image with Telegraf (StatsD), InfluxDB and Grafana](https://github.com/samuelebistoletti/docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana) from [Samuele Bistoletti](https://github.com/samuelebistoletti).

The main point of difference with this image is:

* Persistence is supported via mounting volumes to a Docker container
* Grafana will store its data in SQLite files instead of a MySQL table on the container, so MySQL is not installed
* Telegraf (StatsD) is not included in this container

The main purpose of this image is to be used to show data from a [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io) installation. For more information on how to do that, please see my website about how I use this container.

| Description | Value |
|--------------|---------|
| InfluxDB | 1.8.2 |
| ChronoGraf | 1.8.6 |
| Grafana | 7.2.0 |

## Quick Start

To start the container with persistence you can use the following:

```sh
docker run -d \
--name docker-influxdb-grafana \
-p 3003:3003 \
-p 3004:8083 \
-p 8086:8086 \
-v /path/for/influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb \
-v /path/for/grafana:/var/lib/grafana \
philhawthorne/docker-influxdb-grafana:latest
```

To stop the container launch:

```sh
docker stop docker-influxdb-grafana
```

To start the container again launch:

```sh
docker start docker-influxdb-grafana
```

## Mapped Ports

```
Host Container Service

3003 3003 grafana
3004 8083 chronograf
8086 8086 influxdb
```
## SSH

```sh
docker exec -it bash
```

## Grafana

```

### Add data source on Grafana

1. Using the wizard click on `Add data source`
2. Choose a `name` for the source and flag it as `Default`
3. Choose `InfluxDB` as `type`
4. Choose `direct` as `access`
5. Fill remaining fields as follows and click on `Add` without altering other fields

Basic auth and credentials must be left unflagged. Proxy is not required.

Now you are ready to add your first dashboard and launch some queries on a database.
