I made a fresh installation of InfluxDB v2.2 on a remote Ubuntu 22.04 machine.
using SSH and CLI I started influxdb and created 1st CLI connection config “config1” with:
- URL localhost:8086. password1. orgname1. and set it active
I assumed that the above command already created the orgname1, but listing orgs showed that not, nor did it create any users of course.
Afterwards I accessed the UI with IP-address:8086 (not local host as I accessed remotely) which prompted me for the initial user setup. I set the following
- user2. password2. bucket2. orgname1. The UI API token gave me the
user2_API_token
I additionally created orgname2. user2 was automatically assigned to orgname2. (why?)
Realizing I messed up somehow, I went back to the CLI and created “config2” with
- URL IP-address:8086. password=user2_API_token. orgname1. and set it active
With that I cannot find any orgs or users using the CLI.
I’m sure I mixed up a few things and didn’t get the concept right. Can you help me? How should I do the initial setup and how can access the same thing with both the UI and the CLI?
