sminker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
sminker Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
sminker Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
Ahmed Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 all good. so just adding a variable with the location of the config file in appdata is all it needs. sweet. Quote Link to comment

NOLA_DireWolff Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 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.
