InfluxDB API unavailable after 10 attempts

Hi all!

My influxDB worries me right now.

I can give you the following info right now, more on request, since I’m not really familiar with the topic yet I don’t know what else you need.

My influxdb2 is running on a container on / in Proxmox. Yesterday it was not reachable anymore, so I rebooted the container which did not work.

I found out the following:

systemctl status influxd.service

Now I am confused, because I am 100% sure to have installed the version 2, so influxdb2.
What can / must / should I do to get the DB running again and it is accessible?!

and as info: i am very new in the “influx” area and i am more the user than the programmer :wink:

Thanks in advance!
