You can access the InfluxDB CLI via Docker. For example, run the following command:

docker run -it -u 0 bitnami/influxdb:2.7.11 /bin/bash

Don't forget to replace 2.7.11 with your InfluxDB version.

Once the container starts, create a configuration. Remember to replace <XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com with your actual InfluxDB domain:

influx config create \
  --config-name adminConfig \
  --active \
  --username-password admin \
  --org admin \
  --host-url https://<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com

After this step, you'll be able to use the InfluxDB CLI. For instance, to create a new user, run:

influx user create --name <user> --password <password>
