Multi-node cluster setup

For information about setting up a multi-node {{% product-name %}} cluster, see Create a multi-node cluster in the Get started guide.

System Requirements

Operating system

{{< product-name >}} runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Object storage

A key feature of InfluxDB 3 is its use of object storage to store time series data in Apache Parquet format. You can choose to store these files on your local file system. Performance on your local filesystem will likely be better, but object storage has the advantage of not running out of space and being accessible by other systems over the network. {{< product-name >}} natively supports Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. You can also use many local object storage implementations that provide an S3-compatible API, such as Minio.

Install

{{% product-name %}} runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Choose one of the following methods to install {{% product-name %}}:

Quick install for Linux and macOS

To install {{% product-name %}} on Linux or macOS, download and run the quick installer script for {{% product-name %}}--for example, using curl to download the script:

curl -O https://www.influxdata.com/d/install_influxdb3.sh \
&& sh install_influxdb3.sh {{% show-in "enterprise" %}}enterprise{{% /show-in %}}

[!Note] The quick installer script is updated with each {{% product-name %}} release, so it always installs the latest version.

[!Important]

Production deployment

For production deployments, use Linux DEB or RPM for built-in systemd sandboxing, or Docker with your own container security configuration.

For detailed security options, see Manage security.

Download and install the latest build artifacts

You can also download and install [{{% product-name %}} build artifacts](/influxdb3/version/install/#download-influxdb-3-{{< product-key >}}-binaries) directly:

{{< expand-wrapper >}} {{% expand "Linux binaries" %}}

{{% /expand %}} {{% expand "macOS binaries" %}}

[!Note] macOS Intel builds are coming soon.

{{% /expand %}} {{% expand "Windows binaries" %}}

{{% /expand %}} {{< /expand-wrapper >}}

Pull the Docker image

Run the following command to pull the [influxdb:3-{{< product-key >}} image](https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb/tags?tag=3-{{< product-key >}}&name=3-{{< product-key >}}), available for x86_64 (AMD64) and ARM64 architectures:

docker pull influxdb:3-{{< product-key >}}

Docker automatically pulls the appropriate image for your system architecture.

{{< expand-wrapper >}} {{% expand "Pull for a specific system architecture" %}} To specify the system architecture, use platform-specific tags--for example:

# For x86_64/AMD64
docker pull \
--platform linux/amd64 \
influxdb:3-{{< product-key >}}
# For ARM64
docker pull \
--platform linux/arm64 \
influxdb:3-{{< product-key >}}

{{% /expand %}} {{< /expand-wrapper >}}

Linux DEB or RPM

When installed via DEB or RPM on a systemd-enabled system, {{< product-name >}} runs in a sandboxed environment. The included systemd unit file configures the environment to provide security isolation for typical deployments. For more information, see Manage security.

[!Note] DEB and RPM installation is recommended for non-Docker production deployments due to built-in systemd sandboxing.

{{< expand-wrapper >}} {{% expand "DEB-based systems" %}}

Use apt-get to install {{< product-name >}} from the InfluxData repository:

curl --silent --location -O https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive.key
gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint --with-colons ./influxdata-archive.key 2>&1 \
| grep -q '^fpr:\+24C975CBA61A024EE1B631787C3D57159FC2F927:$' \

&& echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/influxdata-archive.gpg] https://repos.influxdata.com/debian stable main' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdata.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}

{{% /expand %}} {{% expand "RPM-based systems" %}}

Use yum to install {{< product-name >}} from the InfluxData repository:

curl --silent --location -O https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive.key

TOML configuration (Linux)

After you install the DEB or RPM package, the {{% product-name %}} TOML configuration file is located at /etc/influxdb3/influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}.conf and contains the following settings:

[!Important]

License required

{{% product-name %}} requires an active license to start. See how to Activate a license. {{% /show-in %}}

Run as a system service (Linux)

{{% product-name %}} DEB and RPM installs include service files for running as a managed system service on Linux:

  • systemd: For modern Linux distributions
  • SysV init: For legacy system compatibility
Run using systemd

On systemd systems, the influxdb3-{{< product-key >}} unit file is enabled on install, but the unit is not started in order to allow configuration.

To start the database, enter the following commands:

# Start the service
systemctl start influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}

# View status
systemctl status influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}

# View logs
journalctl --unit influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}
Run using SysV

On SysV init systems, influxdb3-{{< product-key >}} is disabled on install and can be enabled by adjusting /etc/default/influxdb3-{{< product-key >}} to contain ENABLED=yes.

To start the database, enter the following commands:

# Start the database
/etc/init.d/influxdb3-{{< product-key >}} start

# View status
/etc/init.d/influxdb3-{{< product-key >}} status

# View logs
tail -f /var/lib/influxdb3/influxdb3-{{< product-key >}}.log

Verify the installation

After installing {{% product-name %}}, enter the following command to verify that it installed successfully:

influxdb3 --version

If your system can't locate influxdb3 following a quick install, source the configuration file (for example, .bashrc, .zshrc) for your shell--for example:

source ~/.zshrc
