Apache IoTDB, the high-performance open source time-series database purpose-built for the Internet of Things, preinstalled and running as a single-node standalone service with a bundled JRE, the SQL command-line interface and the REST API enabled. A unique root password is generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
Overview
Apache IoTDB (Internet of Things Database) is a high-performance, lightweight open source time-series database purpose-built for IoT and industrial sensor data. It delivers fast columnar storage with high compression, a familiar SQL-like query language, rich aggregation and downsampling, and connectors for the wider data ecosystem. This image delivers Apache IoTDB fully installed and running as a single-node standalone service, so a production-grade time-series database is accepting writes within minutes of launch.
Application Stack
The Apache IoTDB standalone all-in-one distribution (one ConfigNode plus one DataNode) installed under /opt/iotdb and run by a dedicated unprivileged service account. A bundled Eclipse Temurin JRE 17 so no system Java is required. A systemd service that starts the database on boot and restarts it on failure. The SQL command-line client and the REST API for ingesting and querying time series.
Time-Series Database
Model your devices and sensors as timeseries, write data points over the SQL CLI, the REST API or the native session SDKs, then query them with IoTDB SQL: filter by time range, aggregate, downsample and group by time windows. IoTDB uses a purpose-built columnar file format (TsFile) with high compression to keep long-retention sensor data on modest disk, and the database lives on a dedicated, independently resizable data volume.
Secure First Boot
On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh root password, unique to that instance, rotates the built-in root account away from the well-known default and writes the password to a root-only file. The database client port and the internal coordination ports bind to loopback only and are never exposed without your action. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use
Connect over SSH and the database is already running. Read the generated credentials, open the SQL CLI, create timeseries, insert data points and run queries, or drive the same operations through the loopback REST API. The entire time-series database is stored on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk.
