InfluxDB setup issues

[HyruleWarrior]

Trying to get this up and running using containers. I brought up the InfluxDB container using

docker run -d --name influxdb:1.8-alpine -v /home/myusername/vuegraf:/var/lib/influxdb -p 8086:8086 influxdb

(Note: : aren't allowed in container names, so I changed it to a -)

When using the sample vuegraf.json file and updating to point to my InfluxDB instance, the Vuegraf container fails to start as it fails to create the database with an unauthorized error. Is there some extra setup that needs to be done in InfluxDB before this will work? I tried creating a user and giving those credentials to vuegraf.json and I seemed to hit the same issue. Logs of the failure:

I've updated the README with the correct docker run ... command for influxdb. I suspect you may have been running InfluxDB v2. Please try with the correct command.

Ah yep, that was it! I missed it was pulling the default influxDB image. Thanks!
