How to set up remote instances of InfluxDB and Grafana

Posted on November 25, 2020

What do I need to do to set up a remote instance of InfluxDB that is connected to Grafana with DigitalOcean?

DigitalOcean has Marketplace Droplets for both InfluDB and Grafana, but the Droplet for InfluxDB TICK Stack doesn’t have any get started instructions.

Heya,

I believe that at this time InfluxDB is no longer available through our marketplace platform. You can manually install the service on a droplet and then connect it to your grafana dashboard
