Docker Compose Instructions & example files don't work

[h4rryb]

Hello,

I've tried following your insttructions from the website, and from https://github.com/unpoller/unpoller/tree/master/init/docker, but utilising the provided files, and just adding in my UniFi controller credentials doesn't work. It's able to connect to the UniFi device, and Grafana is able to start, but the terminal continuously gets the following error message, and I'm not able to connect the InfluxDB to Grafana - any ideas?

influxdb2client E! Write error: 404 Not Found: database not found: "unpoller"

Yeah, the documentation is pretty poor. That is a guide for using influxdb 2 (which the documentation is saying don't use).
I had to switch to this:

  influxdb:
    restart: always
    image: influxdb:1.8
    ports:
      - 8086:8086
    volumes:
      - /docker/unifipoller/influxdb-storage:/var/lib/influxdb
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_DB=${INFLUXDB_DB}
      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=${INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED}
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER}
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD}   

I then had to follow the instructions to manually create the user and db. I also couldn't get the token working so I set http_auth_enabled to false.

After that I did get it all working. good luck!

I was able to get it to work with the current template outlined in the docs for Docker Compose, but I had to make these changes:

1. Change ENV var INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED to false

2. [Post-deployment] Create the unpoller table in influx db via

   docker exec -it <container_name> influx

   CREATE DATABASE unpoller;

this made my day, I was searching for hours and your fix, @devinbaeten , was the final & needed solution.
Thank you!
