Automate Docker InfluxDB Deployment with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your InfluxDB deployments on Docker using this n8n workflow. Effortlessly manage container start, stop, and disk mounting operations via a webhook-triggered API.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides an automated solution for managing Dockerized InfluxDB instances. It leverages a webhook to accept commands, allowing for remote control of container actions such as starting, stopping, mounting, and unmounting disks. The workflow includes robust error handling and parameter configuration, ensuring a reliable and efficient deployment process. It validates incoming server domains and translates API commands into actionable SSH commands executed against your Docker host. This significantly reduces manual intervention and the risk of human error in your InfluxDB infrastructure management.
Key Features
- Webhook-driven control: Trigger actions via a secure API endpoint.
- Container lifecycle management: Start, stop, mount, and unmount Docker containers.
- Domain validation: Ensures commands are sent to the correct server.
- SSH command execution: Executes deployment and management tasks directly on the Docker host.
- Error handling & reporting: Provides clear status and error messages for each operation.
How To Use
- Configure the
Parametrsnode: Set yourserver_domain,clients_dir,mount_dir, and SSH screen characters. - Set up the
APIwebhook node: Define your webhook path (docker-influxdb) and ensure thehttpBasicAuthcredentials for InfluxDB are correctly configured. - Configure the
Container Actionsswitch node: Map the incomingcommandfrom the API to the desired actions:container_start,container_stop,container_mount_disk, orcontainer_unmount_disk. - Define SSH commands: For each action in the
Container Actionsnode, specify the correspondingcommandto be executed via SSH. - Set up the
SSHnode: Connect your SSH credentials and ensure thecwdis set to the correct directory on your Docker host. - Implement response handling: Use the
Code1node to process the SSH command output and return a structured success or error response to the API caller.
