MariaDB instead of influx?

[tincanfury]

I already have a mariadb container running for some other programs, can I use MariaDB with powerwall dashboard, or does it only work with influx?

Thanks,

It needs InfluxDB. Even if you made all the changes necessary to get the data into MariaDB, much of the dashboard would not work because Grafana needs a time-series database for many of the visualizations.

I send some data from InfluxDB to MariaDB to let me run queries that can't readily be done in InfluxDB 1.8, but the data go to InfluxDB first.

Understood. The machine has more than enough RAM and processor to handle multiple DBs running, especially with how little access they have. Thank you for the detailed answer!
