QuestDB

How to use this image

$ docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 8812:8812 questdb/questdb

Open localhost:9000⁠ to access the QuestDB Web Console.

This starts QuestDB with the default configuration and without any persistent volume. This means that all data will be lost when the container is stopped. 

Volumes

In order to persist data, you can mount a directory or a volume using the -v parameter:

$ docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 8812:8812 -v local/dir:/var/lib/questdb questdb/questdb

Replace local/dir with the absolute path to the directory on your host machine where you want to persist the data.

Exposed ports

This is the list of ports used by QuestDB:

• 9000 for the InfluxDB Line Protocol, REST API and the Web Console (accessible at localhost:9000⁠)
• 8812 for the Postgres wire protocol

Configuration

When you mount an empty volume as explained above, QuestDB will create a default configuration file inside the mounted volume. You can then edit this file to customize the configuration⁠. Alternatively, you can use environment variables⁠ to configure QuestDB.
