InfluxDB v2.0 running in docker - ERR: received status code 401 from server-CodePudding

I'm trying to run some experiments with InfluxDB in my local machine but for some reason, auth is not working (or I'm not being able to make it work).

I create a docker network running:

docker network create --driver bridge influxdb-telegraf-net

Later, I simply bind the 8086 of the container to the localhost's, attach a volume for the data files, and that's pretty much all:

docker run -d --name=influxdb -p 8086:8086 -v /tmp/influx:/root/.influxdb2 --net=influxdb-telegraf-net influxdb:2.0

Then, I run the following command to set up InfluxDB inside of the container:

docker exec -it influxdb influx setup

And I fill the username, password, organization... and so on.

However, when I'm "done" with the set up, I use my local influx client to create a new database, but every command I run returns: ERR: received status code 401 from server.

For instance:

myuser@mymachine:~$ influx
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 2.0.9
InfluxDB shell version: 1.6.7~rc0
> show databases
ERR: received status code 401 from server

I'm not sure where the issue comes from. I tried running auth but after filling the username and password, it still returns the same error.

I'm sure it has to be some small - yet simple - detail, because I'm not doing anything fancy.

TIA!

EDIT

When running docker inspect influxdb-telegraf-net:

myuser@mymachine:~$ docker inspect influxdb-telegraf-net

Note that I changed my MacAddress to a dummy add just in case.

CodePudding user response：

Alright, after checking the versions (first thing I should have done!) I found out:

myuser@mymachine:~$ /usr/bin/influx --version
InfluxDB shell version: 1.6.7~rc0

and

myuser@mymachine:~$ docker exec -it influxdb /bin/bash
root@e1ddbd36321b:/# influx version
Influx CLI 2.0.9 (git: d1233b7951) build_date: 2021-10-01T21:09:53Z

So yeah, that's basically the issue. The versions of the client and the DB must match.

Keep in mind that InfluxDB 2.0 or greater does not have the out-of-the-box CLI that lets you enter the DB cli. You need to compile it by yourself as per issue #19986.
