Adds @testcontainers/influxdb for testing against InfluxDB OSS 1.x and 2.x, with separate classes for each major version:

  • InfluxDB1Container / StartedInfluxDB1Container: creates an authenticated application user with access to the default test database and exposes administrator credentials for administrative queries.
  • InfluxDB2Container / StartedInfluxDB2Container: initializes an organization, bucket, user, and usable default admin token. Passwords shorter than eight characters fail before container startup.

The selected class determines the configuration; image tags are not parsed. Examples and integration tests use influxdb:1.13 and influxdb:2.9. InfluxDB 3 is outside this module's current scope.

Documentation includes complete examples with imports, explicit image versions, authentication, and assertions that the written points are returned. Custom configuration tests exercise the actual credentials, database, organization, bucket, token, and retention policy.

Verification

Validated locally on Windows with Node.js 24.16.0 and Docker 29.5.3:

  • npm ci --no-audit --no-fund using NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 for the local certificate trust store; package-lock.json unchanged.
  • npm run format and npm run lint: passed.
  • npm exec -- eslint 'packages/modules/influxdb/src/**/*.ts' --max-warnings=0: passed.
  • npm run build --ignore-scripts --workspace packages/testcontainers -- --project tsconfig.json: passed.
  • npm run build --ignore-scripts --workspace packages/modules/influxdb -- --project tsconfig.json --noEmit: passed, including test types.
  • npm run build --ignore-scripts --workspace packages/modules/influxdb: passed.
  • npm test -- packages/modules/influxdb: all 9 tests passed.
  • Executed both examples extracted from the documentation against real containers: both passed.
  • git diff --check: passed.

Regression evidence: the default-configuration write/query tests were first run against the original combined class. InfluxDB 1.x failed with HTTP 404 because the default database did not exist; InfluxDB 2.x failed with unauthorized access because no token was exposed. Both tests passed after switching to the corrected classes.

Compatibility

This is an additive module (enhancement / minor). It does not change existing released packages or the core Testcontainers API. The class split replaces the unreleased API introduced by this PR.

This picks up the earlier effort in #1130, which was closed for missing docs. Thanks @mdodsworth for the original attempt.

Supports the InfluxDB 2.x line (org/bucket/token setup) and the legacy 1.x
line (database/user), choosing the flavour from the image tag. The started
container exposes the URL and credentials so a client can connect straight
away.

Tests write points and read them back through the official influxdb-client
on 2.x and over HTTP on 1.x. Picks up testcontainers#1130 and adds the docs that were
missing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds separate Testcontainers classes for InfluxDB 1.x and 2.x, with version-specific configuration, startup settings, and accessors. Tests cover authentication, credentials, database and bucket operations, password validation, and retention. The module also gains package and TypeScript build configuration. Its documentation now includes examples from the test files and a MkDocs navigation entry.

Changes

Layer Summary
Module packaging and build setup Adds package metadata, TypeScript build configuration, Docker image declarations, and exports for the InfluxDB 1.x and 2.x containers.
InfluxDB 1.x container support Adds configuration builders, startup environment variables, connection getters, and tests for authenticated and unauthenticated operations.
InfluxDB 2.x container support Adds initialization settings, password validation, retention support, connection getters, and tests for writing, querying, and bucket configuration.
Usage documentation and navigation Replaces inline examples with references to test files, reorders the version sections, and adds the module to MkDocs navigation.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bce6d

The previous version-selection and token-access concerns are addressed by the separate containers and exposed default token. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Official InfluxDB Docker image DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN omitted setup generates operator token behavior

💡 Result:

When using the official InfluxDB Docker image, if you omit the DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN environment variable (and do not provide a value via DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN_FILE), InfluxDB will automatically generate an initial Operator token during the setup process [1][2]. The behavior is as follows: 1. Automatic Generation: If no initial token is supplied during the initialization phase (triggered by setting DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE=setup), InfluxDB generates a secure, random Operator token for you [1][2]. 2. Storage: The system automatically stores this generated token in the active Influx CLI configuration, which allows the local CLI tool to authenticate and perform operations subsequently [2]. 3. Retrieval: If the token is auto-generated, it is not explicitly printed in the container logs for security reasons. Users who need to retrieve or verify this token after the fact can check the generated Influx CLI config files within the container, or use the influxd recovery tools if they lose access to their initial credentials [2]. The DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN_FILE environment variable exists as an alternative mechanism to provide this token securely via Docker secrets or mounted files [1][3][4]. If you specify this variable but the file does not exist, the entrypoint script will issue a warning and skip the file, effectively behaving as if no token was provided, unless a default value is supplied through other means [5][6].

Citations:


Expose a usable default InfluxDB 2.x token.

When withAdminToken() is not called, the 2.x setup omits DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN. InfluxDB generates a token, but getAdminToken() returns undefined because the class does not retrieve it. Set a deterministic default token or expose the generated token after startup.

InfluxData GitHub issue 27135 influxdb latest September 15 2026 InfluxDB 3 Core port 8181

💡 Result:

As of August 27, 2026, InfluxData has announced a breaking change regarding the Docker latest tag for the InfluxDB image, as tracked in GitHub issue #27135 [1][2]. On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the latest tag for the official InfluxDB Docker image will change from pointing to InfluxDB 2 to pointing to InfluxDB 3 Core [1][3]. Users who rely on the latest tag to retrieve updates will experience an upgrade to InfluxDB 3 Core the next time they pull the image after this date, which may break existing deployments [1][4]. To avoid an unexpected upgrade, InfluxData recommends updating Docker deployments to use a specific version tag, such as docker pull influxdb:2 [1][3][4]. Regarding port 8181, it is the default port for the HTTP API in InfluxDB 3 Core [5][3]. Documentation for setting up InfluxDB 3 Core in Docker explicitly includes mapping this port (e.g., -p 8181:8181) [6][7][3]. The default configuration listens on 0.0.0.0:8181 [6][7].

Citations:


Reject unsupported image tags instead of treating them as InfluxDB 2.x.

isInfluxDB2(this.imageName.tag) classifies latest and all major versions >= 2 as InfluxDB 2.x. The container then applies InfluxDB 2.x settings and waits on port 8086. After influxdb:latest moves to InfluxDB 3 Core, this setup can fail because InfluxDB 3 Core uses a different setup model and defaults to port 8181.

Accept only explicit 1.x and 2.x tags. Throw for latest and unsupported major versions.

Hi @JonnasFigueiredo, thanks for raising the PR. Apologies in the delay in reviewing it. A few issues:

1. Split into one class per major version

Right now the version is guessed from the image tag, and anything that doesn't parse as 1.x is treated as 2.x. That breaks on several official tags that exist today:

  • 3-core, 3.11-core, core and enterprise are InfluxDB 3. They get the 2.x setup, and influxdb:3-core hangs until the startup timeout ("URL /ping not accessible").
  • data, meta and data-alpine are 1.x Enterprise, and they're also configured as 2.x.

Instead of making the tag parsing stricter, I'd prefer separate classes in this same package:

export { InfluxDB1Container, StartedInfluxDB1Container } from "./influxdb1-container";
export { InfluxDB2Container, StartedInfluxDB2Container } from "./influxdb2-container";

This also:

  • gets rid of getters that mean nothing for one of the versions (getOrganization()/getBucket() on 1.x, getDatabase() on 2.x) and the isInfluxDB2() check;
  • leaves room for an InfluxDB3Container later. The open 3.x PRs in Java and Python both add a separate class, because 3.x uses a different port (8181), startup command and token model.

2. InfluxDB 2.x: set a default admin token

If withAdminToken() isn't called, getAdminToken() returns undefined. InfluxDB does generate a token, but there's no easy way to read it back, so the client can't be used out of the box. Please set a default token, so the getter can return string and the zero-config path just works.

3. InfluxDB 1.x: the defaults don't give a usable user

With the defaults (auth on, no database), the created user can't do anything: CREATE DATABASE returns 403 ("requires admin privilege"), and the admin credentials aren't exposed. The docs example avoids this with withAuthEnabled(false), so the default path isn't tested. I'd suggest defaulting the database (e.g. test) so the user gets privileges on it, and adding getAdminUsername() / getAdminPassword().

4. Tests

  • The 1.x test can't fail. InfluxDB returns 200 even for errors (for example {"results":[{"statement_id":0,"error":"database not found: nope"}]}), so expect(body.results).toBeDefined() passes even if the write went nowhere. Please assert that the written point comes back.
  • "should apply custom configuration" only checks that the getters return what was set. It would still pass if the settings never reached the container. Writing and querying with the custom token/org/bucket would test it for real.
  • Please also add a test for the default 1.x path with auth enabled.

5. Nits

  • The class comment says tags "below 2" are treated as 2.x; the code does the opposite. (This goes away with the split.)
  • Please bump the images to the current lines: influxdb:2.9 and influxdb:1.13.
  • The docs say to substitute IMAGE, but the examples use INFLUXDB2_IMAGE / INFLUXDB1_IMAGE.
  • Optional: 2.x setup rejects passwords shorter than 8 characters, but that only shows up in the container logs, and the caller waits out the full 120s timeout. A length check in start() would fail fast.

Happy to help with any of this.

Thanks for the detailed review, @cristianrgreco! I've addressed the points in 68bd0ee: split the classes by major version, fixed the default token and database setup, exposed the 1.x admin credentials, strengthened the integration tests, and updated the images and documentation. I also added the short-password validation.

All 9 module tests and both documentation examples pass locally against real containers, along with lint and compilation. Ready for another look whenever you have time. Thanks!

Thanks @JonnasFigueiredo, this covers everything from the last round.

One thing before merging:

  • Docs: please switch back to <!--codeinclude--> with inside_block markers in the tests instead of hand-written snippets. Every other module doc includes its examples from the tests, so they're compiled and run in CI. Inline copies drift. Keep the "Choose an image from the container registry and substitute IMAGE." line like the other docs. The paragraphs describing the defaults are useful, so keep those.

Nits:

  • The tests import from ./index. Other modules import from the container file directly (./influxdb1-container, ./influxdb2-container).
  • influxdb1-container.test.ts repeats the Basic auth header and the expected cpu_load result in every test. A couple of small helpers in the test file would cut that down.

The docs had hand-written snippets that could drift from the tests, so the
examples now point at blocks inside the test files like the other modules do.
Also import the containers from their own files in the tests and pull the
repeated Basic auth header and cpu_load result into small helpers.

Done in bce6d9d. Docs are back on codeinclude with inside_block markers, the tests import from ./influxdb1-container and ./influxdb2-container, and the repeated Basic auth header and cpu_load result are helpers now. I left the header and the expected payload inline in the first 1.x test on purpose, since that is the block the docs pull in.

9 tests pass locally and mkdocs build --strict renders both blocks. The deploy preview is red, but the docs build fine here and that site also errored on a few dependabot PRs, so it looks unrelated. Could you retry it?

The red jobs on this run are the 4 minio ones, not influxdb. They fail before starting a container, because quay.io/minio/minio is private now: unauthorized: access to the requested resource is not authorized. It hits every PR and main, so I opened #1466 with a fix. All influxdb jobs here are green.
