How to export data into a standalone influxDB

Problem/Motivation

my influxDB reaches multiple GBs in size and its not running optimally anymore on HASS.IO. I try now to run it seperatly in a container on my server. I tried to work with the backup and restore, but the file structure is not matching nicely with available container images. Is there some way / documentation to transition to an external influx db without loosing the history data?

Expected behavior

  • export import options
  • folder mapping to dockerhub images
  • ....

Actual behavior

not clear

Steps to reproduce

Proposed changes

provide dump / data export options, influx cli access would help too

Use the influxdb CLI to connect to the instance remotely, as documented by Influx:

https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/administration/backup_and_restore/

Set the host to the HA host (and open up the influx port in the add-on settings).
