Server is not responding

InfluxDB 2
,
1

Hi there,

I set up my influx instance on a Raspberry Pi using Docker and Docker Compose. The YAML file is attached below. InfluxDB, NodeRed and Grafana containers are up and running, NodeRed and Grafana are working as well, while influx is not working.

dbocksteger@stats:~$ sudo docker ps
[sudo] password for dbocksteger:

I’m wondering whether it is correct, that all containers are running with ip 0.0.0.0, but as mentioned above, NodeRed and Grafana are working like charm.

But when I try to use Influx, nothing is working. I’m not abled to perform queries using influx only, trying to pass a host like localhost or the Pi’s IP fails even more.

dbocksteger@stats:~$ influx

Are you sure an InfluxDB server is listening at the given address?
InfluxDB shell version: 1.6.4

dbocksteger@stats:~$ influx -host localhost:8086

Please check your connection settings and ensure 'influxd' is running.

Trying to connect using Grafana I only get Bad Gateway. I really hope someone in this community is capable to help me out solving this issue.

The whole *.yml looks like:

version: "2.2"

services:

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana
    container_name: grafana
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    networks:
      - knx
    volumes:
      - grafana-volume:/knxstats

  influxdb:
    image: quay.io/influxdb/influxdb:v2.0.4
    container_name: influxdb
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8086:8086
    networks:
      - knx
    volumes:
      - influxdb-volume:/knxstats
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_DB=knxstats

      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_ENABLED=true
      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=true

      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_BIND_ADDRESS: 127.0.0.1:8086

      - INFLUXDB_USER=admin

      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin

  nodered:
    image: nodered/node-red
    container_name: nodered
    restart: always
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
    ports:
      - 1880:1880
    networks:
      - knx
    volumes:
      - node-red-data:/knxstats

volumes:
  grafana-volume:
  influxdb-volume:
  node-red-data:

networks:
  knx:

What makes me additionally wondering; In the used directory /knxstats still is the YAML file completely alone, altough it is mentioned in the file as volume for every service.

  • First of all, check the docker logs of the influxdb container. What does the log say?
  • I don’t understand what you want to achieve with these /knxstats folders in every container?
  • Where did you get this docker-compose.yml file from?

Have the same problem. Its official docker image from dockerhub.

In web http://localhost:8086 all works fine.

@dbocksteger based on the logs, it looks like you’re using a v1.6.4 CLI against a v2.0.4 database. That isn’t going to work; you’ll need to download the latest CLI.

The environment variables you’re using in the influxdb container also look like all 1.x variants, so most of them aren’t going to have an effect. I’d recommend:

  • Use influxdb:2.0 instead of quay.io/influxdb/influxdb for your image tag (the quay.io variant was a stop-gap until we restored the DockerHub build for 2.x)
  • See the DockerHub docs about the new environment variables available for configuring 2.0 on startup: Docker
