Unable to replicate a bucket from Windows 10 to Windows 10 using 2.3 OSS

Hello!

I’ve been struggling the past few days to create a replication from one OSS InfluxDB instance to another. However, I’ve had no luck replicating. The replication queue just gets bigger and bigger, apparently not finding a successful recipient. I’ve even turned on wireshark, but there is no IP traffic going from the primary to the secondary or vice-versa.

Is there an error log somewhere that might give me a hint? Btw, this is Windows 10, and I guess replication is a fairly new feature. I’m sure it’s something I’m fat-fingering or missing, but it has been tested on Windows 10, correct?

Also - here are the commands I’ve been using. The seem to be working fine, except, of course, the remote connection is apparently not being made.

============ Remote Create Command ==============

C:\InfluxData\influx>influx remote create --host http://localhost:8086 --org-id 3977f266669f66c7 --token nCdQTHFa4UbFWLUpktlIptb6vKHDQlhwyIPBIZNAUMMGsa05otkfM4tG7FPMqnZ-3SIkH_PaxJNnxOWkZAcwDg== --name secondary --remote-url http//10.102.11.85 --remote-api-token dd_nA-Iw3GZCWXpghejKqQAdzESu740RrYBqkJ3lizIQf6dsL-2PNk_rND26k54Io6OfZDDgXMb5yxnCZREmFA== --remote-org-id 77d13f6a08470322

(Note, I’ve tried this with the remote port number both specified and not specified, neither is working so far).

Any help much appreciated!

Hello @Jack999,
You can only replicate data from an OSS instance to influxDB Cloud not from OSS to OSS.

@Jack999
I’m so sorry I’m so wrong.
You definitely can.
I just noticed all the examples in the docs are OSS → Cloud.

Here’s an example of edge to edge or OSS to OSS.
GitHub - InfluxCommunity/InfluxDB-Roadshow-Training at edgeToEdge

I believe @Jay_Clifford is already helping you though.

Again apologies for my mistake. I’m working on a PR for the docs.
