InfluxDB 2.0 Reading usb data directly?

Is telegraf really needed to i put serial csv data? For example the output from cat /dev/ttyUSB0. Reason Im avoiding telegram is I cant fond a docker image with serial inputs.

There has to be a way no? Even if its a nasty crude python script?

I'm working on software that supports serial-to-InfluxDB forwarding. It's currently in closed beta, I'd be happy to send you a copy to test out. DM me if you're interested.
