“Smart home with … ESP8266 V.1.2” on Ubuntu server LAMP

Ferdinando Dossena asked 2 years ago

I’m following the “Smart Home with … and ESP8266 v1.2” course, I don’t have Raspberry PI, but I have my own Ubuntu LAMP server. I installed Mosquitto, Node-red, InfluxDB and Telegraf, and they work fine. I haven’t installed “Raspberry Pi Monitoring template”, which plugin can I install instead?
This command:

influx config create --config-name influx-config --host-url
http://MY_IP_ADDRESS:8086 --org <my-org> --
token <my-auth-token> --active

doesn’t work, return Argument unknown.

I hope that in a next release you will also include some chapters for those who have an Ubuntu – Debian server without Raspberry PI.
Thank you

This I fixed:

influx config create --config-name influx-config --host-url
http://MY_IP_ADDRESS:8086 --org <my-org> --
token <my-auth-token> --active

When I installed influxdb2 it installed influxdb-client 1.6.x, now I removed influxdb-client and installed influxdb2-cli, it installed version 2.7.1-2.

Hi.
I think this is the right template for your system: https://www.influxdata.com/influxdb-templates/linux/
To install it, I think you just need to install and configure CLI as we show in the eBook and then, follow the Quick Install instructions on that page (left sidebar).

I hope this helps.

Sara
