InfluxDB 2.*

Apps and Virtualization
1

Hi guys

running Influxdb at the moment as a non catalog installed docker container, version is 1.8.10

I’d like to try 2.x maybe even 2.7, hopefully it also includes the web console.

First try would be to install 2nd copy and test some apps against that.
I’m battling to figure out again in apps how to now specify a non catalog docker container, If I add in InfluxDB it just shows me 1.8.10

if it’s only for playing around i’d propably use a docker run command from dockerhub, use a converter to create a docker compose from the docker run command and use the custom yaml app function in scale to deploy whatever version i want.

Well it all starts with playing.

I want to upgrade my current InfluxDB that records all metrics for all systems from 1.8.10 to 2.x

The first will be a 2nd copy to play/verify with, then need to see how well a upgrade of a 1.8.10 → 2.x works.

Do you maybe have a example/link for me how the new docker compose works.

I’d propably use this docker compose from dockerhub
https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/influxdb
adjust the tag to the version of influxdb i want to deploy, adjust the storage paths so it’s persistent and then use the custom app yaml function in the gui, or if you’re using dockge or portainer use them to deploy the app
