Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You spent four paragraphs describing your unusual and unique set up and then asserted that your setup isn't actual either of those things. I think you just don't realize how out of the norm your requirements are.
What exactly?
Seriously, reading data from Influx isn't unusual, it's kind of the whole point of a database to be read from. And sensor data kind of represent a time series. There even is an official plugin, it just doesn't work right.
What you seem to conveniently ignore is that I'm starting at two very simple points. And all those paragraphs are just attempts to make one of those work. That's it.
And again, this is exactly the attitude I'm referring to. Oh that is totally weird. That can't work, obviously!
Why? Why does the very simple use case to read data from a db not work?
