InfluxDB 3.0 & Grafana Stack

This repository contains a docker-compose.yml file to deploy a containerized monitoring stack using InfluxDB 3 Core and Grafana.

Running these services in Docker containers ensures consistent environments and prevents future versioning conflicts.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on the host machine.
• The host machine must have the following directories created for persistent data storage:
  • /Volumes/data/InFluxDB_data
  • /Volumes/data/Grafana_data (Note: Ensure the Docker daemon has read/write permissions for these directories).

Quick Start

1. Clone or download this repository to your host machine.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file.
3. Start the stack in detached mode:

   docker compose up -d

To stop the stack:

docker compose down

Accessing the Services

Grafana

URL: http://<host-ip>:3000 (http://localhost:3000 if using same machine) InfluxDB 3 Core URL: http://<host-ip>:80

Architecture & Configuration Details

Both services run on a shared custom bridge network (influx-net) allowing them to communicate securely with each other.

• InfluxDB (influxdb3-core)
  • Image: influxdb:3-core
  • Ports: Exposed on host port 80 (maps to container port 8181).
  • Storage: Data is persistently stored on the host at /Volumes/data/InFluxDB_data.
  • Configuration: Configured to use local file object storage (--object-store=file) and initialized with a predefined Operator/API token via environment variables.
• Grafana (grafana)
  • Image: grafana/grafana:latest
  • Ports: Exposed on host port 3000.
  • Storage: Data (dashboards, users, data source configurations) is persistently stored on the host at /Volumes/data/Grafana_data.
  • Dependencies: Grafana is configured to wait for InfluxDB to start before initializing.
