If you've got any questions feel free to ask.
For everyone still having problems installing Grafana, Telegraf and InfluxDB:
I just released a tutorial on how to set everything up using atribe's docker containers on Reddit.

Hey!
I also had problems figuring out how to setup Grafana, InfluxDB and Telegraf and made a tutorial after I figured it out.
Feel free to check it out on reddit!
