chronograf container influx link failure

[mcandre]

I'm trying to configure chronograf to point to influxdb via docker-compose, but when I open chronograf in my browser, it still prompts for influxdb connection details. Am I doing something wrong?

version: "2"
services:
  telegraf:
    image: "telegraf-compose:1.2"
    links:
      - influxdb
    ports:
      - "8125:8125/udp"
  influxdb:
    image: "influxdb:1.2"
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"
  chronograf:
    image: "chronograf:1.2beta"
    links:
      - influxdb
    ports:
      - "8888:8888"
  kapacitor:
    image: "kapacitor:1.2"
    links:
      - influxdb
    ports:
      - "9092:9092"
    environment:
      KAPACITOR_INFLUXDB_0_URLS_0: "http://influxdb:8086"

(The telegraf-compose:1.2 and chronograf:1.2beta images are technically custom images, built similarly to the official ones in order to fill gaps in the Docker Compose experience for the TICK stack, like defaulting the influxdb address from localhost to influxdb for chronograf.)

Hi @mcandre, you can run chronograf with a few options to tell it to reach your influxdb:

     --influxdb-url=                         Location of your InfluxDB
                                              instance [$INFLUXDB_URL]
      --influxdb-username=                    Username for your InfluxDB
                                              instance [$INFLUXDB_USERNAME]
      --influxdb-password=                    Password for your InfluxDB
                                              instance [$INFLUXDB_PASSWORD]
      --kapacitor-url=                        Location of your Kapacitor
                                              instance [$KAPACITOR_URL]
      --kapacitor-username=                   Username of your Kapacitor
                                              instance [$KAPACITOR_USERNAME]
      --kapacitor-password=                   Password of your Kapacitor
                                              instance [$KAPACITOR_PASSWORD]

So you'll probably want INFLUXDB_URL=http://influxdb:8086 and KAPACITOR_URL=http://kapacitor:9092
