  2. Deploy InfluxDB Docker Image on Linode with TypeScript

How do I deploy the InfluxDB Docker image on Linode using TypeScript?

In this guide, we will deploy the influxdb:latest Docker image on a Linode instance using Pulumi with TypeScript. Pulumi allows us to define and manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages.

Key Points

  • Create a Linode instance.
  • Install Docker on the Linode instance.
  • Deploy the influxdb:latest Docker container on the Linode instance.

Here is the Pulumi program to achieve this:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as linode from "@pulumi/linode";
import * as command from "@pulumi/command";

// Create a Linode instance
const linodeInstance = new linode.Instance("influxdb-instance", {
    label: "influxdb-instance",
    region: "us-east",
    type: "g6-standard-1",
    image: "linode/ubuntu20.04",
    rootPass: "your-secure-password",
    authorizedKeys: [/* Add your SSH public key here */],
});

// Install Docker on the Linode instance
const installDocker = new command.remote.Command("install-docker", {
    connection: {
        host: linodeInstance.ipAddress,
        user: "root",
        privateKey: "<path-to-your-private-key>",
    },
    create: `apt-get update && apt-get install -y docker.io`,
}, { dependsOn: linodeInstance });

// Deploy the InfluxDB Docker container
const runInfluxDB = new command.remote.Command("run-influxdb", {
    connection: {
        host: linodeInstance.ipAddress,
        user: "root",
        privateKey: "<path-to-your-private-key>",
    },
    create: `docker run -d -p 8086:8086 --name influxdb influxdb:latest`,
}, { dependsOn: installDocker });

// Export the IP address of the Linode instance
export const instanceIp = linodeInstance.ipAddress;

Summary

In this example, we created a Linode instance, installed Docker on it, and then deployed the influxdb:latest Docker container. The Linode instance’s IP address is exported for easy access to the InfluxDB service.
