InfluxDB "influx" command won't connect to CLI

I've got a docker instance of influxDB

docker run -d -p 8086:8086 -v influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb --name influxdb influxdb

Instead of being in the CLI where I can create databases and everything I get a help page with list of commands and usage from "Influx CLient" when running docker exec -it influxdb influx

How do I get into the proper CLI? Web interface works btw

Cheers

maybe you can try with

docker exec -it influxdb bin/bash

after that, you will enter the container you created before.

Then, you can use the command influx to connect the CLI.

Go into docker shell:

docker exec -it influxdb bash

Try to run from within docker:

influx query 'from(bucket:"YOUR_BUCKET_NAME") |> range(start:-1m)'

You can also read some info: https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/19986
