January 7, 20197 yr I messed up a setting on Influxdb. Of course docker will not start now. I typed in the wrong IP to enable UDP to monitor my proxmox server This file specifically. /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf Any help would be great. Ive done alot to setup multiple grafana graphs from different sources. I dont want to start over. Thanks in advance.
January 7, 20197 yr Author If you know where that file would be located it would help. It’s not in app data or anywhere I can find. I even had krusader to a search and nothing came up. I had to bash into the running container to access it originally. Telegraf is easy. It’s conf file is in app data.
January 7, 20197 yr Author I think I figured out what you meant. I just deleted the docker and reinstalled. All settings were still there. I updated the conf file with the "right IP this time" and it runs just fine.
January 7, 20197 yr Have you mapped the container location /etc/influxdb to an external location on the host (typically to /mnt/user/appdata/influxdb) so that configuration information is held eternally to the container?

Can you please explain where you found the conf file? i did a search and can find it under /var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes/ but i dont think that would be the usual place holder for docker configs. Usually as itimp stated its under /mnt/user/appdata/docker/blah
February 29, 20206 yr all good. so just adding a variable with the location of the config file in appdata is all it needs. sweet.

June 20, 20206 yr For anyone who finds this - I ended up having to manually add the config file by pulling the generic config from githup and manually creating it. There was nowhere I could find the config that was being used. https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/1.8/etc/config.sample.toml I copied that into a text editor and saved it into the root influx appdata dir.
