Docker Image with InfluxDB and Grafana 9.3.6

This is a Docker image initially inspired by the Docker Image with InfluxDB and Grafana repo from Phil Hawthorne, https://github.com/philhawthorne/docker-influxdb-grafana

The main point of difference with this image is:

• 2023 Updated Grafana to Version 9.3.6

Description	Value
InfluxDB	1.8.2
ChronoGraf	1.8.6
Grafana	9.3.6

Important

After creating the container do the following. Some of the plugins may not work correctly, and need to be udpated.

1. docker exec -it docker-influxdb-grafana /bin/bash
2. grafana-cli plugins update-all
3. exit
4. docker restart docker-influxdb-grafana

Quick Start

To run this with docker-compose use:

version: '3.3'
services:
    docker-influxdb-grafana:
        container_name: docker-influxdb-grafana
        restart: unless-stopped
        ports:
            - '3003:3003'
            - '3004:8083'
            - '8086:8086'
        volumes:
            - './influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb'
            - './grafana:/var/lib/grafana'
        image: 'mspencerl87/docker-influxdb-grafana:latest'

To start the container with persistence you can use the following:

docker run -d \
  --name docker-influxdb-grafana \
