My problem is to use Influxdb in an isolated (internet free) place which is my boat 6 miles out on the see. I tried it on a local wifi network without connected to the internet and it does not seem to work. MQTT and Node Red works well on my Intranet but I still could not get Influxdb working. I get to the xxx.xxx.xx.x:8086 URL but after entering user and password nothing happens. When I connect to the Internet everything is fine. I know it is Cloud based but I have been told that 2.0 can be used on Local WiFi network. What should I do to fix this? ---

As far as I know, there isn’t anything in InfluxDB that requires a connection to a public network except for telemetry reporting (“phone home”) which just reports information about your local instance back to InfluxData. To disable this functionality, just add the `--reporting-disabled` flag when you start `influxd`: ```nohighlight influxd --reporting-disabled ``` If this doesn’t work, this is definitely a head scratcher that will require some more digging. If this does fix it, it’s also something that should be reported as a bug.
