Just to follow up here, I did spend some time running a good few dozen commands (~50?) to try to understand how one might pull the Api token from a influx install for use during scripting of say Ansible/Docker/etc.
I was able to do it, but because of the crazy 5-10 second start-up timing loop penalty, figuring out how to do it, easily cost 5 to 10 minutes of waiting just to execute commands like ‘$ influx auth find’
