Linux/InfluxDB

Preparing v1 access via InfluxDB 2.x

• Create token in gui
  • "Load Data" -> "API Tokens"
• Get Bucket ID
  • "Load Data" -> "Buckets"
• Get Organization Name
  • "User" -> "About" -> "Organization Profile" -> "Name"

• Access influx command line (docker exec -it influxdb sh)
• Create v1 user

influx v1 auth create -o {orgName} --username {newuser} --password {newpass} -t {token} --read-bucket {bucketID} --write-bucket {bucketID}

Settings in Node-RED

• version = 1.x
• database = database from previous step (e.g. mybucket)
• username = from previous step
