vdbg/tile-influx repository overview

⁠Tile-influx

Allows for importing data from Tile⁠ to InfluxDB⁠ v2.

⁠Requirements

• Tile⁠ credentials associated with active Tile(s) devices.
• A device with either Docker⁠ or Python 3.11+ installed.
• InfluxDB⁠ v2 installed on this device or another device, and a bucket created in influxDB.

⁠Setup

The app reads the settings from template.config.toml, then config.toml (if it exists), then environment variables. See template.config.toml⁠ for details.

⁠With Docker without config file

Dependency: Docker installed.

Inspect template.config.toml file for all the settings that need to be overriden. Command will look something like:

sudo docker run \
  -d \
  --name tile-influx \
  --memory=100m \
  --pull=always \
  --restart=always \
  -e TILE_INFLUX_TILE_USERNAME=user \
  -e TILE_INFLUX_TILE_PASSWORD=password \
  -e TILE_INFLUX_INFLUX_TOKEN=token \
  vdbg/tile-influx:latest

⁠With Docker using config file

Dependency: Docker installed.

1. Download and run the Docker image: sudo docker run --name tile-influx -v config.toml:/app/config.toml vdbg/tile-influx:latest
2. Copy the template config file from the image: sudo docker cp tile-influx:/app/template.config.toml config.toml
3. Edit config.toml by following the instructions in the file
4. Start the container again to verify the settings are correct: sudo docker start tile-influx -i
5. Once the settings are finalized, Ctrl-C to stop the container, sudo docker container rm tile-influx to delete it
6. Start the container with the final settings:

sudo docker run \
  -d \
  --name tile-influx \
  -v /path_to_your/config.toml:/app/config.toml \
  --memory=100m \
  --pull=always \
  --restart=always \
  vdbg/tile-influx:latest
