Deploy influxdb, grafana, and varken in PTS Community Apps

Edit your Varken.ini file sudo nano /opt/appdata/varken/varken.ini

(Required as of 1JAN2020) go here: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup sign up and create a license key and then go into portainer and add that to the new Environment variable VRKN_GLOBAL_MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY

Instructions to configure varken.ini are not part of this howto but are located here https://github.com/Boerderij/Varken/wiki/Configuration

Use the container name for anything on the same host (i.e., tautulli, influx, ombi, sonarr, radarr, lidarr etc.)

Now go to https://grafana.yourdomain.com. Default Username and Password are admin/admin

Highly recommended that you change the default Grafana password:

Add influxdb as a datasource in Grafana URL is http://influxdb:8086

Database is varken

Username = admin

password = adminpass

Import dashboard - https://grafana.com/dashboards/9585

Install dependency plugins: sudo docker exec -it grafana /bin/bash Paste grafana-cli plugins install grafana-piechart-panel && grafana-cli plugins install grafana-worldmap-panel Exit bash shell Restart the container sudo docker restart grafana

Deploy Telegraf in PTS Community Apps

Add the datasource to grafana, import or create a dashboard, profit. When you add the data source, the URL is http://influxdb:8086 and the db name will be telegraf (database should be created for you already)
