Q: Is there any way to export the data from the Database or access the container from outside?

Hi @mpous,

I have been using MING for a while in a project, and recently I have been asked if there is a possibility to extract the data from the InfluxDB database.

Do you know if there is any way, is it possible to access the container from outside Balena Cloud?

As options, to have the data more at hand, it occurs to me to use InfluxDB Cloud, but I would already have to change the current project and start from scratch... and I am interested in extracting the data I already have.

Please let me know if there are any options.

Thank you so much in advance!

@alexcorvis84 first of all apologizes for the delay answering this message! i didn't realize about your issue!

What do you mean? What try to access do you need? SSH? REST API? I'm sure Influx provides multiple ways to query the measurements.

if there is a possibility to extract the data from the InfluxDB database.

How do you need the data? did you try to expose a REST API to query the Influx database from NodeRED?
