Home Assistant collects volumes of (time series) data that are well suited for some fancy graphs. 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.

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. Just follow the steps below: Instead of running [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/) and Grafana on a Raspberry Pi or a different system and go through the [classic approach of installing both tools separately](/blog/2015/12/07/influxdb-and-grafana/), 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. Just follow the steps below:
