Health Import Server

Storage backend for https://www.healthexportapp.com

Official documentation on the JSON format that the request submodule parses can be found here: https://github.com/Lybron/health-auto-export/wiki/API-Export---JSON-Format

Currently just stores the metrics into influxdb but more storage backends (and storing workout data) may be supported in the future.

Config file

You'll need provide a json config file with the details on how to connect to and authenticate with your influx db instance:

[
	{
		"type": "influxdb",
		"hostname": "YOUR HOSTNAME HERE",
		"token": "YOUR TOKEN HERE",
		"org": "YOUR ORG HERE",
		"bucket": "YOUR BUCKET HERE"
	}
]

Running in docker

The image can be built with this command (not on dockerhub yet):

docker build -t health-import:latest

To provide the config file to the application you need to place it here: /config/config.json (later on I'd like to support config via environment variables instead).

You can either do this with a bind mount e.g.

docker run -v $(PWD)/config:/config health-import:latest

Or making an image which extends the base image:

FROM health-import:latest
ADD config.json /config/config.json

(docker-compose works well with this approach)
