1 year ago As a follow up to this issue, modifying sleep was not the real issue. When you use systemctl to start the influxdb service, by default the timeout for systemctl is too small.
Therefore, a potential fix is for the Timeout to be modified in your delivery of /lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service.
I added the following to my file and was able to get the system working through reboots, backend restarts and such. TimeoutStartSec=10min

During install, the DB installation process failed because the connection to the endpoint timed out.
Since the raspberry Pi (Zero W) CPU is not of great performance, the influxd process is not starting in a timely manner. Seems to be about 3 minutes from screen output/logs: 2023-06-05T22:29:22.281420Z info InfluxDB starting {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "version": "1.8.10", "branch": "1.8", "commit": "688e697c51fd"} 2023-06-05T22:29:22.283797Z info Go runtime {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "version": "go1.13.8", "maxprocs": 1} 2023-06-05T22:32:14.001843Z info Using data dir {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "service": "store", "path": "/var/lib/influxdb/data"} 2023-06-05T22:32:14.005589Z info Compaction settings {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "service": "store", "max_concurrent_compactions": 1, "throughput_bytes_per_second": 50331648, "throughput_bytes_per_second_burst": 50331648} 2023-06-05T22:32:14.018356Z info Open store (start) {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "service": "store", "trace_id": "0iFQsXlW000", "op_name": "tsdb_open", "op_event": "start"} 2023-06-05T22:32:14.021796Z info Open store (end) {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "service": "store", "trace_id": "0iFQsXlW000", "op_name": "tsdb_open", "op_event": "end", "op_elapsed": "3.471ms"} 2023-06-05T22:32:14.034703Z info Opened service {"log_id": "0iFQi2tl000", "service": "subscriber"}
To fix this issue, it seems I needed to increase the sleep time in /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh. See below.
When I modified the value to 10. The install scripts from upgrade_commands.sh for the DB could successfully run. In addition, the DB now starts and restarts successfully and my endpoints work.
