Difficulty in working with buckets with Influx CLI

I am new to Influx and I have installed both InfluxDB and Influx CLI in my Linux Ubuntu 18.04 local environment.

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influxd version
InfluxDB v1.8.10 (git: 1.8 688e697c51fd)

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influx version
Influx CLI 2.3.0 (git: 88ba346) build_date: 2022-04-06T19:30:53Z

I have set up the CLI as indicated in the official instructions (https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/tools/influx-cli/):

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influx config create --config-name local-config \
>   --host-url http://localhost \
>   --org pengon \
>   --token secret-token \
>   --active

Active  Name            URL                 Org
*       local-config    http://localhost    pengon

I have loaded some simple test data in the database:

> SELECT * FROM periodic_measurements_test WHERE sensor_id='8';
name: periodic_measurements_test
time                 apartment_id metric mvalue original_db original_id room_id sens_id sensor_id

When I am trying to list the buckets, I get an error:

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influx bucket list
Error: failed to list buckets: 502 Bad Gateway:
unable to decode response content type "text/html"

The same happens when trying to create a bucket:

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influx bucket create -n bucket1 -o pengon -r 52w
Error: failed to lookup org with name "pengon": 502 Bad Gateway:
unable to decode response content type "text/html"

Any hint what is wrong?

Thanks,

Bernardo

InfluxDB version 1 and version 2 are not that compatible. I assume you intend to use InfluxDB version 2 as you are creating bucket and list bucket. However, the database server you are now using is v1.8 indicated by

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influxd version
InfluxDB v1.8.10 (git: 1.8 688e697c51fd)

While your database client is v2.3 indicated by

bernardo@BDi-laptop:~$ influx version
Influx CLI 2.3.0 (git: 88ba346) build_date: 2022-04-06T19:30:53Z

You were trying to use client of v2.x to talk to server of v1.x and it will prompt you with unclear messages such as "502 Bad Gateway"

Could you uninstall the v1.8 from database server and install v2.X?
