InfluxDB is the leading open source time series database for metrics, events, and real-time analytics.

Project Status

This main branch contains InfluxDB v3 in pre-release and under active development. Build artifacts are not yet generally available and official installation instructions will be coming later this year. For now, a Dockerfile is provided and can be adapted or used for inspiration by intrepid users.

Installation

We have nightly and versioned Docker images, Debian packages, RPM packages, and tarballs of InfluxDB available on the InfluxData downloads page. We also provide the InfluxDB command line interface (CLI) client as a separate binary available at the same location.

• For v1 installation, use the main 1.x branch or install InfluxDB OSS directly.
• For v2 installation, use the main 2.x branch.
• v3 development is on this main branch. This project is actively under development and is not considered stable.
