I am trying to install influxdb but i am not sure how to do it. I searched internet Tutorials but they are all different, and nobody seems to care which version they are downloading.
Can anyone here help me?
I am using a raspberry pi 3B+, with raspbian 11 (bullseye)
and I want to download influxdb 1.8.10
I know thats probably the wrong forum, but i do not want to sign up in another.

I don't have bullseye, what does this show
`apt policy influxdb`

Answering my own question, I think that will give you 1.6.7, which is rubbish.
This is pretty much what I use

Though I am not sure whether that will give you 1.8 or 2.0, so when you get to
`sudo apt install influxdb`
don't do that, but instead do `apt policy influxdb` and see what it says. If it is 1.8 then carry on, otherwise come back.

It runs now. I dont exactly remember what worked(because I tried many commands.) but I think it was this:
```auto
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.8.10_linux_armhf.tar.gz
tar xvfz influxdb-1.8.10_linux_armhf.tar.gz
```
from [Downloads](https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/) and as platform i chose Linux Binaries (ARMv7).
and installed it with these infos i think: [Install InfluxDB OSS | InfluxDB OSS 1.8 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/introduction/install/)
It does run now!
But I have not tested it completely till now

Something like should be ok.

I can't understand why 1.6.x is rubbish ?
Last year i used 1.8.x and after an update to 1.8.7-1 it didn´t start:
After update to 1.8.9 again:
that was the case for all/most users on RPi, because "influxd-systemd-start.sh" was changed / permissions has changed.
In a german forum I was told to use the default version of raspian, just install by
`apt install influxdb influxdb-client`
since then it's been running flawlessly

I meant it is rubbish that the latest version in Bullseye is so old.
The issue with some 1.8 versions failing to start was, I believe, fixed in 1.8.10.

Here is my setup for pz2w, hope it can be used. Had it running on a pzw but was too slow. runs alongside grafana and bluetooth.
```auto
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ influx --version
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.10
```
```auto
install influx
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y
curl https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/influxdb-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/influxdb-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repos.influxdata.com/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install influxdb -y
sudo systemctl unmask influxdb
sudo systemctl enable influxdb
sudo systemctl start influxdb
sudo systemctl status influxdb
```
