Docker Setup

Install Docker
Make a directory to hold the config.ini file. Navigate to that directory and download the sample config.ini in this repo.

mkdir SB6183-stats-for-influxdb
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billimek/SB6183-stats-for-influxdb/blob/master/config.ini SB6183-stats-for-influxdb/config.ini
cd SB6183-stats-for-influxdb

Modify the config file with your influxdb settings.

vim config.ini

Modify the 'Address =' line include the ip or hostname of your influxdb instance. Example:

Address = 10.13.14.200

. Run the container, pointing to the directory with the config file. This should now pull the image from Docker hub. You can do this by either running docker run or by using docker-compose.

docker run -d \
--name="sb6183" \
-v $PWD/config.ini:/src/config.ini \
--restart="always" \
