Docker Setup

========================

This document describes how to build and run a minimal InfluxDB container under Docker. Currently, it has only been tested for local development and assumes that you have a working docker environment.

Building Image

To build a docker image for InfluxDB from your current checkout, run the following:

$ ./build-docker.sh

This script uses the golang:1.7.4 image to build a fully static binary of influxd and then adds it to a minimal scratch image.

To build the image using a different version of go:

$ GO_VER=1.7.4 ./build-docker.sh

Available version can be found here.

Single Node Container

This will start an interactive, single-node, that publishes the containers port 8086 and 8088 to the hosts ports 8086 and 8088 respectively. This is identical to starting influxd manually.

$ docker run -it -p 8086:8086 -p 8088:8088 influxdb
