I installed InfluxDB2 and would like to connect Home Assistant to it. The only way I could do this was by passing the container’s IP directly in the configuration, as shown below:
influxdb:
api_version: 2
ssl: false
host: 10.21.0.3
port: 8086
token: 'xxx'
organization: 'homeassistant'
bucket: home_assistant
max_retries: 10
default_measurement: state
The problem is, the container IP changes every time Umbrel reboots.
Tried with influxdb2_app_1 or http://influxdb2_app_1 for the host parameter, but I receive a connection error on HA logs:
Cannot connect to InfluxDB due to '<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f717d1160>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name does not resolve'. Please check that the provided connection details (host, port, etc.) are correct and that your InfluxDB server is running and accessible. Retrying in 60 seconds.
Btw I can connect Grafana with Influx passing the following url: http://influxdb2_app_1:8086.
How does HA handle DNS for containers in Umbrel? What is the alternative to connect to Influx persistently, without having to change the configuration from time to time?
