📥 SquirrelDB Installation

Cassandra​

SquirrelDB requires Cassandra to store its metrics.

You can follow the Cassandra installation documentation, or run it with Docker:

# The network is needed only if you run SquirrelDB with Docker.
docker network create squirreldb

docker run -d --name squirreldb-cassandra -p 127.0.0.1:9042:9042 --restart unless-stopped \
    -v cassandra:/var/lib/cassandra --net squirreldb cassandra

    --net squirreldb -e SQUIRRELDB_CASSANDRA_ADDRESSES bleemeo/squirreldb
