How to create admin / root user and set its password after a freshly installed InfluxDB 2.3?

[kosuodhmwa]

Maybe somebody has a step-by-step-manual for that. No matter what i do, i always get a 401 error.

root@test:/var/lib/influxdb# influx auth create --org my-org --all-access Error: failed to lookup org with name "my-org": 401 Unauthorized: unauthorized access

root@test:/var/lib/influxdb# influx auth list Error: could not find authorization with given parameters: 401 Unauthorized: unauthorized access

` root@test:/var/lib/influxdb# curl http://localhost/api/v2/authorizations

root@test:/var/lib/influxdb# influx user list Error: failed to list users: 401 Unauthorized: unauthorized access

root@test:/var/lib/influxdb# influx user create -n root -p Test12345 -o myorg-com Error: failed to lookup org with name "myorg-com": 401 Unauthorized: unauthorized access

Thank you very very much for your feedback(s) :-)

You need to run the influx setup command to initialize the operator token/user.
