Installation & Running

[MaxMohammadi]

I'm getting this error when running 'python app.py' in your cloned repo:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=8086): Max retries exceeded with url: /query?q=SELECT+%2A+FROM+%22rp_temp%22.%22downsampled_temp%22&db=sensors_data (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f8d4227a2b0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused'))

Do I need to run influxdb host separately?

Hi @MaxMohammadi Yes you have to run the InfuxDB instance. For ease you can up the docker container of influxDB.
You can achieve that by following the steps:

1. Create the container

docker run --name influxdb -d \
-p 8086:8086 \
--volume `pwd`/influxdb2:/var/lib/influxdb2 \
--volume `pwd`/config.yml:/etc/influxdb2/config.yml \
influxdb:2.0.7

2. Use some of the flags as shown in the following command:

docker exec influxdb influx setup \
  --bucket BUCKET_NAME \
  --org ORG_NAME \
  --password PASSWORD \
  --username USERNAME \
  --force

3. Use the influx CLI to retrieve the token using the following command:

docker exec influxdb influx auth list

The command will produce the following output:
ID Description Token User Name User ID Permissions
07ec335d5c118000 admin's Token TOKEN_REDACTED admin 07ec335d32118000 [read:authorizations write:authorizations read:buckets write:buckets read:dashboards write:dashboards read:orgs write:orgs read:sources write:sources read:tasks write:tasks read:telegrafs write:telegrafs read:users write:users read:variables write:variables read:scrapers write:scrapers read:secrets write:secrets read:labels write:labels read:views write:views read:documents write:documents read:notificationRules write:notificationRules read:notificationEndpoints write:notificationEndpoints read:checks write:checks read:dbrp write:dbrp]
I hope this might work for you as well.
