Home Assistant Community Add-on: InfluxDB

Installation Home Assistant OS

I’ve used InfluxDB in the past, but this is the first time as an HA add-on.
I have been able to install it, but it won’t run, stopping at an nginx permission error.
Has this been seen before? Is there anything further I can provide to help debug?

I’ve tried to clean my influx database with DROP MEASUREMENT command thru influx cli.
Those commands didn’t return any errors but seem to have no impact. Old and unused measurements are still there.

I’ve found an issue on github link to that but as I really don’t know how to investigate with the hassio addon.

Perhaps something to check in the addon setup ? If you have any idea I’m listening.

I get this error after updating to this version from 1.3.0, i tried to reboot hass.io several times, reinstall, etc, but always getting the same error:

As many many users reported, I never had chance to run influxDB properly.
I got the classic error: “Database host is not accessible due to ‘HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘a0d7b954_influxdb’, port=8086): Max retries exceeded with url: /write?db=homeassistant (Caused by NewConnectionError(’<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f717ab748>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name does not resolve’))’, please check your entries in the configuration file (host, port, etc.) and verify that the database exists and is READ/WRITE. Retrying again in 60 seconds.”

I use SSL connexion with duckdns. Here my config

{
“auth”: true,
“reporting”: true,
“ssl”: true,
“certfile”: “fullchain.pem”,
“keyfile”: “privkey.pem”
}

influxdb:
host: a0d7b954_influxdb
port: 8086
database: homeassistant
username: !secret influxdb_username
password: !secret influxdb_password
ssl: true
max_retries: 3
default_measurement: state

Of course both the database and the user “homeassistant” created in influxDB.

I tried with SSL:false or true, auth false or true… I opened of course port 8086/8088 in my router…

Is Graphite supported within this add-on? And if so, where can and should I configure it?

Note
I’ve searched and couldn’t find an answer.

Use-case
Want to use the built-in FreeNAS graphite support, so that I can insert miscellaneous FreeNAS metrics into influxdb.

I have followed the installation sequence step-by-step, but when clicking “Open Web UI” I only get a 502: Bad gateway. Nothing happens.

Last event in log after starting is “[16:28:49] INFO: Starting NGinx…” and nothing more.

Anyone experienced this before?

196

My influx won’t start after the update, I only get this in the log: https://pastebin.com/dhik1GiM what to do?

And then no further.

That is the last message an there is nothing wrong with that.

Nope, no solution. Everything seems to be ok, but only 502: error when trying to start it. No clue

Hello,
can I use CLI with this add-on? If yes, how can I access it?

Thank you.
