Issues with port 8088

[jsternberg]

The program you're looking for is influx. influxd is the server and wouldn't allow you to run queries anyway. Be aware there is an issue with using docker exec and influx as documented in the CLI / SHELL section of the README.

I'm going to close this issue since it does not appear to be a bug in the image. If you're still having issues, repost this issue to our community website and give me a ping to the link here.

How did you start the original container? docker exec can only be used on a running container. That makes me think you have influxd already running in the container and then you tried to run it again in the same container.

Got it, I had the same doubt, but then how do I access CLI in the container? Is HTTP API call the only way then?

I'm not sure what commands you want to run. Can you give me any details on what you're trying to do? Using docker exec is fine, you just can't run influxd twice in the same container.

After logging in container I want to run SHOW DATABASES, CREATE DATABASE and basic influxdb commands meant for Influxdb cli. I can docker exec and enter container, like earlier I was able to run cli when I entered container
