Hi everyone, I am trying to connect to Influxdb 2 but getting connection refused each time.
This is my docker compose I am using to create InfluxDB container:-

influxdb:
    image: influxdb:alpine
    volumes:
      - influxdb-data:/var/lib/influxdb
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"
    environment:
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE: setup
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_DB: openwisp2
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_USERNAME: openwisp
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD: openwisp
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ORG: openwisp
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_BUCKET: openwisp-bucket
      DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN: "openwisp-secret"

For querying I am using influxdb-client(python library) and querying in a way:
INFLUXDBClient(url=" http://localhost:8086 ",token="openwisp-secret", org="openwisp").query_api().query(Query I wanna execute)

I don’t think you need the quotes around the token. Try it without them.

Thanks @kramik1 for help. I found that I have to pass container_name too in docker-compose for my tests to work well

You are trying to get 2 containers to talk to each other? In that case, you do need to use the container name since that is the default host name for the container. Is that correct?
