Docker Image with InfluxDB and Grafana

This is a Docker image based on Phil Hawthorne.

Change log:

• Update INFLUXDB_VERSION to 1.6.1 (Note that as of version 1.3 the UI on port 8083 is removed)
• Update influxdb.conf with "max-row-limit = 0" (This is now the default as of version 1.3)
• Update GRAFANA_VERSION to 5.2.2
• Commented out SSH components which should not be used. From host terminal use: docker exec -it "containerID" bash

Quick Start

  -p 8086:8086 \
  -v /path/for/influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb \
  -v /path/for/grafana:/var/lib/grafana \
  -v /path/for/grafana/plugins:/var/lib/grafana/plugins \
  -v /path/for/grafana/provisioning:/var/lib/grafana/provisioning \
  -v /path/for/grafana/logs:/var/log/grafana \
