Scheduled Tasks Not Persistent After docker container is recreated

[Waqas_Rana]

View in #influxdb-v2 on Slack

@Waqas_Rana: Hi everyone,

We have some tasks scheduled in Influxdb and we are using the official Influxdb v2 docker image.
##docker-compose

influxdb:
    container_name: nms-influxdb
    image: influxdb:latest
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_DB=monitoring
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=user
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Password
    volumes:
      - ./influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb
      - ./influxdb/etc/influxdb2:/etc/influxdb
    restart: always
    logging:
      options:
        max-file: "10"
        max-size: "50m"

But when the Influxdb v2 container is recreated it loses its all scheduled tasks.

Please help how can we retain all of those tasks.

Responded on Slack, but for anyone else who finds this issue:

The 2.x DockerHub image stores its data at /var/lib/influxdb2 and configs at /etc/influxdb2. Your mount-point needs to be updated to match:

- ./influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb2
- ./influxdb/etc/influxdb2:/etc/influxdb2
