Best-Practices & Post-Installation

Disable HTTP

It's not secure to expose InfluxDB via the HTTP protocol. Follow these steps to enable HTTPS only.

(Option 1): Upload custom certificates

TODO: #15 Test Docker-Compose for InfluxDB2

Run the container with tls parameters influxd --tls-cert=/etc/ssl/cert.pem --tls-key=/etc/ssl/cert-key.pem

(Option 2): Use a Reverse Proxy

Use a Reverse Proxy to securely expose administrative services.
