Well I’ll be forked.

Lovely Nova Scotia storm last night knocked out the power and crashed my trusty Linux box.
I fired up a backup and went through the build again on the second computer.
Can’t see how that should make a difference but..

It’s working !!

Thanks for all your support.
Now on to the second pertinent topic:

Since my data is being held hostage by Particle.Io who are telling me that my Sandbox is about to expire but they’ll be happy to $ell me an expensive upgrade, have you had any success with writing a webhook that will sucessfully talk to a local Telegraf instance and push it’s data into InfluxDB ?

I’ve spent counless days trying this, my local up-to-date Telegraf with the Particle plugin enabled will apparently accept the blob from Particle but never outputs any data to my InfluxDB instance.

There are a million opinions on what a working webehook should be but none actually seem to work properly.
I’ll try your Google Sheets idea.
The Adafriot IO as well as an Ubidots web hook do work however.

Cheers

Jim

jaredwolff Man that write-up is awesome.
If I can get Particle to write directly to my InfluxDB instance I’ll be a happy camper.

on my Digital Ocean account:
(From your directions)

docker run –rm -e INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=true -e INFLUXDB_DB=particle -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_ENABLED=true -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin -e INFLUXDB_USER=grafana -v influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb influxdb /init-influxdb.sh

/entrypoint.sh: line 340: /init-influxdb.sh: No such file or directory

OMG it’s working on my home InfluxDB

jaredwolff BTW you did a great job on that 3D box design.
