Although the [History](https://home-assistant.io/components/history/) component provides some nice plots, I am sure you have always wanted those fancy [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) plots. The problem, however, is that low-powered device such as Raspberry Pi that most of us use for our Home Assistant setup are not well suited for such operation. -Instead of running InfluxDB and Grafana on a Raspberry Pi, you can run them in a Docker container on another machine. For this tutorial, I am using a Synology NAS, but the instructions should apply to other devices that can run Docker.

For this tutorial, I am using a Synology NAS, but the instructions should apply to other devices that can run Docker. Just follow the steps below: 1. SSH into your NAS. You may have to run `sudo su` if you are getting permission errors. 2. Download the [docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana]( https://hub.docker.com/r/samuelebistoletti/docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana/) image using the command: -` docker pull samuelebistoletti/docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana` +`docker pull samuelebistoletti/docker-statsd-influxdb-grafana` 3. To start the container for the first-time launch: ``` docker run -d \
