Install https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-influxdb or similar and take a look at the examples.

This node looks like may be easier for you to get started with, although I haven't used it myself.

You will also find many topics in this forum relating to influxdb.

OK so you have Influx running in a docker container - is Node Red also running in a Docker container (on the same machine) or on a different machine ?

Show us your docker compose file for the Portainer container so we can see how the networking is setup for the container

Have you succeeded in sending test data to the database from node-red?

Everything in one PI4 B. I haven't been able send the data. I am trying with GPT some logics but I haven't been able to see values on Influx. I try to get the Compose file in var/lib/docker/portainer/compose and it say access denied ,SInce I am new in raspberry I am loss to change the privilage

Do you have to use Docker? Unless you have a good reason to do so then don't.

Yes, I will go with out, I already have Node red stand alone so I am going to add the Influx and Grafana. But I still have the problem with the data. New to find out the best flow to accomplish it. If some one know and help me that will makit Thanks

Start by adding some test data to a test bucket using node-red-contrib-influxdb. Read the help text for the node to see how. Then you will know you are accessing the database ok.
