Installation on the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3
These are the special steps to install InfluxDB and Grafana on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, the older Raspberry Pi 1 is not suited due to it’s ARMv6 architecture.
The following steps expect a Debian/Raspbian Jessie based OS.
Before we can start, you need to install an apt extension for https capable repositories:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
InfluxDB
InfluxDB can be installed through the official repository. Add the key to your system, then add the repository as an apt source, then install influxdb:
wget -O - https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://repos.influxdata.com/debian jessie stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install influxdb
After the installation was successful you can enable (start on boot) and start influxdb as every other program:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable influxdb.service
sudo systemctl start influxdb.service
Continue with the setup instructions in the first posting.
Grafana
Grafana does not officially support the ARM architecture but binaries are provided by @fg2it. Thanks!
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/fg2it/deb jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana-fg2it.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grafana
Again, enable and start the program through systemctl:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service
sudo systemctl start grafana-server.service
Continue with the setup steps in the first posting.
Good luck!
