 The data gets collected by a central Python script that process and stores it in an InfluxDB database for "efficient" storage. The script also runs a web server that queries the database and exposes the data over an API to the dashboard at various dates and ranges. The dashboard is written in JavaScript / React using a simple chart library.
 
-My biggest regret was using InfluxDB. It's a stupid database and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The documentation is confusing and I ran into timezone issues with `group by time()`. It also assumes the column data type is an integer if your sensor happens to send it a whole number at first and it won't let you change that. Their docs are bad. They dropped the SQL-like InfluxQL syntax for querying with a pipeline-like syntax called Flux in version 2.0. Debian's repos seem to be staying with version 1.x though.

You can only delete data by time ranges, not values. It also logs every single thing to `/var/log/syslog` and there's no easy way to disable it (completely).
 
 Just stick to Postgres / SQLite.
