Hello

Im new to the world of databases and real-time monitoring. The only real reason i have databases is some containers and applications in my lab need a database loaded for them to run.
I was scrolling through grafana data sources and came across influxDB and saw it had integrations with Linux, FreeBSD, docker and Kubernetes. I use them alot and would like to make influxDB part of my infrastructure for home and work.

Now after that rambling on to my question. What are some useful sources and tutorial that i can use to try and learn more so that i may and incorporate influxDB into my lab. as stated i have docker vms, Kubernetes nodes, Linux vms, and a FreeBSD firewall

Thanks for the help
