Databases
TDengine, a high performance open source time series database for IoT and observability.
Overview
TDengine is an open source time series database purpose built for IoT, industrial and observability workloads. It stores each device stream in a super table and child table model for fast ingestion and low latency SQL queries, and ships a web console for browsing databases and running queries. Data is written and read over a native protocol, a REST HTTP API, and the taos command line client, and it suits teams collecting large volumes of timestamped data from sensors, machines, applications and infrastructure.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships the OSS Community edition of TDengine preconfigured on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base, ready to query at first boot. It is secure by default with no shared credential in the image: the built in root password is never baked, the image ships with an empty data directory, and every instance rotates root to a unique per VM secret on first boot and writes it to a root only file, proving the upstream default login is rejected before the console is exposed. The web console is fronted by a firewalled reverse proxy, the operating system ships fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image includes a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.
