InfluxDB on standalone-lorwan-gateway

Installed standalone-lorwan-gateway. Everything seems to be working, but when I try to access InfluxDB I get a message that it is unable to connect… can’t establish connection with server. Is there something I need to configure to access it? I’m using port 8086 at the end of my pi’s IP address.

Hello, can you provide a copy of your docker-compose.yml file so we can try to troubleshoot?

Sorry for late reply. Please pardon my ignorance, but I’m new to this and used Balena Standalone because of its ease of use. Can you tell me how to access that file? Would it be through the terminal in Balena Cloud?

Hello @Brummy welcome to the balena community!

Where do you get that you are unable to connect to influxdb? Is this from the nodeRED interface?

Did you try to follow my tutorial from here? https://www.hackster.io/492251/connect-sensecap-s2101-s2014-to-the-things-stack-with-balena-be7eb3

@mpous Thanks! creating the database in terminal may be the piece I didn’t pick up on before. Will work on it and confirm if that’s what I needed.

@Brummy This is great! let us know if this works!

BTW what are you connecting? Just curious here :slight_smile:

Will do.

In the short term, just a temperature sensor to get familiar with it. Longer term idea is garden automation with soil moisture sensors controlling an irrigation system. I’ve been using a ESP32 based system I built via WiFi. Works great using Home Assistant with Node-RED, but I want to see if I can replicate it with this… well, just because its possible!

@Brummy well at least if your sensors are running on batteries the LoRa sensors will last longer :slight_smile:
