I’m testing a migration of my influxdb docker instance from a raspberry pi to an x86 PC.
However, I am having massive issues with the migration. I tried the following:
- Stop influxdb and simply copy the data folder to a the new PC. Upon starting the container, it loads fine and it begins to load the data but it is taking a very long time (over 8 hours to get to 11%)
ts=2025-09-13T14:59:28.706902Z lvl=info msg=“Finished loading shard, current progress 11.7% shards (162 / 1388).” log_id=0yxuF8ol000 service=storage-engine
ts=2025-09-13T14:59:28.712791Z lvl=info msg=“index opened with 8 partitions” log_id=0yxuF8ol000 service=storage-engine index=tsi
- Create a new org and restore the data
That gets stuck at “Restoring KV snapshot” and I don’t even know what that means
I cannot even stop or kill the container. Running “docker stop influxdb” and even “docker kill influxdb” does nothing. It stays stuck on the stop/kill command and nothing happens, meanwhile, the container continues to run in the background uninterrupted.
Has anyone come across this issue before? Am I doing something wrong?
