I am running Kapacitor as docker container. I wanted to use fluxtask, below is the configuration i added:

```auto
[fluxtask]
  enabled = true
  task-run-org = "provided-influxdb-org"

```

I am getting following error:

```auto
run: open server: open service *fluxtask.Service: creating analytical store: could not create database for analytic store, tried 5 times

```

If i disable the fluxtask, kapacitor is working fine.

Any resolution for this.

In order to work it needs an InfluxDB database, and as you can see it tried to create it but failed (probably due to permission).

refer to:

> **[Use Flux tasks with Kapacitor | Kapacitor 1.6 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.6/working/flux/#set-up-a-flux-task-database-in-influxdb)**

> Use Kapacitor 1.6+ to run Flux tasks against InfluxDB and other data sources. Leverage the full library of Flux functionality to build powerful data processing and monitoring tasks in Kapacitor.

Did you ever find a solution to this? We’re getting the same thing and I’ve re-read the documentation several times and checked I’ve performed the steps listed.
