Docker Grafana

A Grafana frontend with an Nginx proxy to InfluxDB. Uses confd to dynamically update the configuration of Nginx.

Limits proxied requests to GET and OPTIONS methods for security reason. Still if you run this Docker in the wild, you should add a password protection to Nginx.

Example:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -e INFLUXDB_HOST=172.17.0.4:8086 -e INFLUXDB_NAME=cadvisor -d --name grafanad -p 8086:80 sybeck2k/grafana

Configuration

• INFLUXDB_HOST: (default 172.17.42.1:8086) sets the influxDB host and port. Attention: use only numeric IPs - Nginx does not use /etc/hosts !
• INFLUXDB_NAME: (default test) the name of the DB to use
• INFLUXDB_USER: (default root) the username for InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_PASS: (default root) the password for InfuxDB
