About
What InfluxDB does
InfluxDB is a high-performance time-series database designed for metrics, events, and real-time analytics. It provides a powerful query language (InfluxQL and Flux), built-in downsampling, and a web-based UI for data exploration. Ideal for IoT data, application monitoring, and DevOps observability pipelines.

How to self-host InfluxDB
InfluxDB can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what InfluxDB does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Store and query time-series metrics from IoT sensors and devices.
- Retain application performance data for historical trend analysis.
- Power Grafana dashboards with fast time-series queries.
