How to install modem-stats #208

Closed EasternPA closed 4 years ago

EasternPA commented 4 years ago

Thank you for these charts. They make for a great opportunity to learn with a huge payoff at the end.

I had to jump through a few hoops to get modem-stats to install and run.

1) Install the bitnami repo (I have to think everyone has it by now) 2) helm install -n influxdb-influxdb bitnami/influxdb 3) Get the admin password by running the export ADMIN_PASSWORD command shown in the output. Copy it the clipboard. 4) helm install -n modem-stats billimek/modem-stats --set config.influxdb.username="admin",config.influxdb.password=""

Only after following those steps did modem-stats successfully create. It took me a while to realize that modem-stats was looking for influxdb using the name "influxdb-influxdb". Then it failed on requiring a username. It finally said the table doesn't exist and it will try to create one.

So, not sure if you'd like to beef up the docs a bit, but these are the hoops I had to jump through to get modem-stats to install.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info @EasternPA. That was one of the very first charts I made and it is probably very lacking! I think you may be the only other person using it other than myself too, given the model of the modem.

For what it's worth, I'm planning to refactor/re-create this modem stats approach using a prometheus exporter instead of influxdb (see #217). Is this something that would interest you?

Closing, lets re-open if we need to revisit this!
