docker-compose file to setup local influxdb and grafana for TESTING purposes

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.2"

services:
  grafana:
    image: "grafana/grafana:latest"
    container_name: grafana
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    volumes:
      - grafana_var_lib:/var/lib/grafana
    environment:
      - GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-piechart-panel
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
    restart: always
    links:
      - influxdb
  influxdb:
    container_name: influx
    image: "influxdb:1.5-alpine"
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"
    volumes:
      - influxdb_var_lib:/var/lib/influxdb
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
      - INFLUXDB_DB=foo
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
      - INFLUXDB_WRITE_USER=foo-write
      - INFLUXDB_WRITE_USER_PASSWORD=foo-write
      - INFLUXDB_READ_USER=foo-read
      - INFLUXDB_READ_USER_PASSWORD=foo-read
    restart: always

volumes:
  grafana_var_lib:
  influxdb_var_lib:

run both with docker-compose up -d

run this curl to create a datasource in grafana that uses the foo database from influx

curl -X POST -u admin \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data @- http://localhost:3000/api/datasources <<-JSON
{
  "name": "foo-local",
  "type": "influxdb",
  "access": "proxy",
  "url": "http://influxdb:8086",
  "password": "foo-read",
  "user": "foo-read",
  "database": "foo",
  "basicAuth": false
}
JSON

then login to grafana at http://localhost:3000 with admin/secret and start making dashboards

point telegraf or collectd or micrometer (or however you push metrics) to localhost:8086 with user foo-write pass foo-write to start gathering

dont use in prod;)
