    InfluxDB - Hardened Self-Hosted Time Series Database

     Info
    Sold by: Lynxroute 
    Deployed on AWS
    Free Trial
    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. InfluxDB is the open-source time series database for metrics, events, and IoT/sensor data, with a built-in web UI, HTTP API, and the Flux and InfluxQL query languages (MIT-licensed 2.x line). Unlike bare InfluxDB AMIs that serve plaintext HTTP with no certificate, leave the instance on an unconfigured setup screen, and keep usage telemetry phoning home, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: native TLS with a per-instance self-signed certificate generated at first boot, an admin user, password, and all-access operator token created at first boot, telemetry disabled, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS INFLUXDB

    InfluxDB is an open-source time series database purpose-built for high write and query loads on timestamped data - infrastructure and application metrics, application events, IoT and sensor telemetry, and real-time analytics. This AMI ships the 2.x line: a single Go server (influxd) with a built-in web UI, a token-authenticated HTTP API on port 8086, and two query languages - Flux and InfluxQL. Features include unbounded retention policies, downsampling tasks, dashboards, alerting checks, and the line-protocol write API compatible with Telegraf and the broad InfluxData client ecosystem (Go, Python, JavaScript, Java, and more). Data persists to a local bolt metadata store and TSM storage engine under a dedicated data directory. MIT license, no vendor lock-in - distinct from the managed InfluxDB Cloud service.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Native TLS on port 8086 - a per-instance self-signed certificate is generated at first boot (no shared key baked into the image); swap in your own CA certificate anytime
    • Admin user, password, and an all-access operator token generated at first boot - written to /root/influxdb-credentials.txt (readable only by root)
    • Usage telemetry disabled
    • HTTP API and web UI require token / login authentication; unauthenticated API calls are refused
    • UFW firewall - SSH on 22 and InfluxDB on 8086 only
    • fail2ban, AppArmor
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • InfluxDB security baked in: native TLS with a per-instance self-signed certificate generated at first boot, admin user + password + all-access operator token created at first boot, usage telemetry disabled - unlike bare InfluxDB AMIs that serve plaintext HTTP, sit on an unconfigured setup screen, and phone home telemetry by default.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • Self-hosted time series database for metrics, events, and IoT data: built-in Flux and InfluxQL, web UI and HTTP API on port 8086, unbounded retention. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Version release notes

    • CIS Level 1 hardening applied (ansible-lockdown/UBUNTU24-CIS)
    • CVE-scanned before every release
    • Native TLS on port 8086 - per-instance self-signed certificate generated at first boot
    • Admin user, password, and all-access operator token generated at first boot
    • Usage telemetry disabled
    • UFW firewall pre-configured (ports 22, 8086 only)
    • fail2ban, auditd, AppArmor pre-configured
    • SBOM (CycloneDX 1.6) at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.medium recommended)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 22 and TCP 8086 from your IP
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read credentials: sudo cat /root/influxdb-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>:8086/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
    6. Log in with the admin user and password from the credentials file
    7. Or use the API/CLI with the operator token, e.g.: curl -k -H "Authorization: Token <TOKEN>" https://<PUBLIC_IP>:8086/api/v2/buckets

    The credentials file (admin user, password, organization, bucket, and the all-access operator token) is written to /root/influxdb-credentials.txt at first boot. InfluxDB serves its API and web UI over HTTPS on port 8086 with a per-instance self-signed certificate. For production, replace it with a CA-signed certificate: copy your cert and key to /etc/influxdb/tls/influxdb.crt and influxdb.key, then run sudo systemctl restart influxdb. Restrict Security Group port 8086 to trusted IPs.
