Problem setup Docker influxdb grafana nodered

[JF89]

Hello ,

i have problems to setup docker influxdb grafana.
i reset the 8212 with 2 reset buttons
i used Mr Braun menu to set up the programs

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/braunku/pfc-provisioning-tool/main/menu.sh -o menu.sh -s && sh menu.sh

it succeeded .all the files were loaded and unzipped

but when i want to access to docker it doesn’t work:

But for grafana and nodered it works, but not at all for grafana, I have the last login and password

So, the reset was not good at all.

for influxdb it doesn’t work

is it a problem of volume or a port not declared ?
It’s strange because it works for nodered:

Any idea ?

[JF89]

Perhaps it will help ?

The “docker images” command is showing that you have successfully loaded the influx and grafana images to the system, but what “run” command syntax are you using? Does a “docker ps -a” command show active and running containers?

Hello Adam,
thanks for your reply.
a docker ps -a command shows that:

the influxdb container seems to be active:

but when i want to open it on a web browser , nothing happens

page not found

I followed the NT 0038 French application note, but there is in my opinion missing files.

the command above works properly,

i use docker exec -it c_influxdb influx command , and the result is:

but they say that in additionnal pages of the documentation there is a SQL script
to create a database with 3 users and differents “privileges” (rights)

and they says to copy the additionnal file and to stick it in a command line ssh

I think the exportinfludb.sql and exportgrafana.json files are missing.
Even when i create a database and i tell him to use mydb the command
docker exec -it c_influxdb influx doesn’t work

i submitted the problem to wago France but I stil haven’t an answer.

I tried with kurt Braun solutions with ssh menu , but i think ports number are missing for influxdb at least

So that’s why I use the wago community.

i you want I can send you the French tutorial

Thanks for your help

I noticed that the image being used is for InfluxDB 1.8.4. I think (although I’m not 100% certain) that InfluxDB 1.x does not have the web interface on port 8086 that InfluxDB 2.x has made available. That is why a browser connection isn’t bringing you to the login screen - I don’t think there is one!

So I think your InfluxDB container is working just fine. You can either use the docker exec command (like you show above) to enter the container and do commands like CREATE DATABASE <db_name>, SHOW DATABASES, USE <db_name>, etc. or you could use whatever tools are available in the program you will to interface with InfluxDB, like the WagoAppInfluxDB library, the Node-Red InfluxDB pallette, etc.

(One of your screenshots does seem to confirm it is working…you enter “use mydb” and the response back is “using database mydb”, which is correct.)

If you are trying to exactly replicate something in the app note from WAGO France, I think contacting them directly will be your best bet. I’m afraid I’ll have little insight into that and I’d have to Google Translate the entire thing.

Hello Adam,

thank you for your reply .

i tried to install influxdb version 2 linux container, but it failed.
the answer was: it’s not an arm32v7 platform or something like that.

So I don’t think influxdb version 2 can be setup on PFC 200 8212 FW26.

I’s a pity because you can’t use web browser port 8086 to commission your measurements tags and fields .
The only way is to use commands, that it’s not easy.

Have you got an other way to do it ?

Does influxdb version 3.0 will be available for wago PLC ?

[AdamReeve]

I agree - I tried to find a container of InfluxDB 2.x for arm32v7 and I was unsuccessful as well. I have only ever used version 2.x on an Edge Computer (amd64).

And sorry, I don’t know anything at all about InfluxDB 3.0. But I would guess that if 2.x can’t do arm32v7, 3.x won’t either.

When the PFC300 controller is released later this year, it will have 64-bit processor, so I am also guessing that arm64 containers will work on it.

Last version with arm7 support is influx:1.8, here is where you can check it in dockerhub.com ( influxdb Tags | Docker Hub)

Other versions are x64, so you have to use Edge Computer or PFC300.
Influx v1 doesn’t have any UI. To create dbs you can use Wago library or Time Series Admin

Inlux v2 has UI:
