InfluxDB Bosh release

Deploy InfluxDB using Bosh.

How to deploy

dev release

Assuming you have a working bosh-lite:

git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/influxdb-boshrelease.git
cd influxdb-boshrelease
bosh -e vbox -d influxdb manifests/influxdb.yml -o manifests/dev.yml

Features

• InfluxDB 1.4.3
• defining multiple databases
• defining multiple retention policies
• defining multiple users and authorizations (read, read/write and admin)

Notes

• A builtin InfluxDB administration user __influxdb_admin is created for the exclusive purpose of allowing this boshrelease to manage the databases and users. The autogenerated password for this user is stored in a root-readable file in /var/vcap/store. This user should not be used for any other purpose.
• Creating additional admin users is supported but discouraged, as they could be used to delete/alter the __influxdb_admin user, thereby causing this release to stop working.
• Deleting users, retention policies or databases from the manifest does not delete them from InfluxDB
• Renaming users, retention policies or databases in the manifest is unsupported and will not work as expected (new users/RPs/databases are going to be created alongside the old ones)

Roadmap

• Automatically rotate the __influxdb_admin during every deploy
• Prevent remote access using __influxdb_admin
• smoke-test errand
