I stumbled on Ticktockdb awhile ago and decided to try it as a replacement for Influx. After some starts and stops, I got it to install on a Rpi 2 Model B and it is running with no problems that I see.

I have three sensors sending data (Temperature, Pressure and Humidity) via MQTT so I built a flow that gets the data, formats it and sends it to the ticktockdb. I also build a dashboard that graphs the data based on selectable criteria.

Here are the instructions for installing ticktockdb:

and here is the flow for accessing it:  
[ticktockdb-v01.json](https://discourse.nodered.org/uploads/short-url/jlmw4O2Wtc6tBztJGbLh4TereMb.json) (34.4 KB)

And here are a couple graphs

I've been running this for a couple weeks and have seen no change in the SD card usage or processor.
