A comment on Wrangling Grafana and InfluxDB into a Docker Image.

InfluxDB up until the recent 0.10 version was quite brittle, sometimes it would crash or leak - other times it would appear to be up but no new points would be written to it (or one of the databases you created in it).

Anyway, Grafana v2.6 and InfluxDB v0.10 seem like a good stable combo that works well together. And both are a simple yum install away.

Docker doesn't get you anything in this instance.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with the upgrade methods for InfluxDB, but I've noticed the leak of the _internal DB https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/5290. I'll probably upgrade soon.

The motivation to put this into an image was that other teams wanted to deploy this and they'll probably end up on the same host so I was looking for isolation of the databases (mainly to protect our team's working dashboard from other fiddlers).
