Influx backups are . . . not

[DowlingIT]

I have in influx 2 db that I'm trying to back up. As far as I can tell, everything is setup as it should be. The logs indicate it tries, but there are no errors shown, but also no backup files generated. I can confirm that data is present in the database.

My config is below. The influx db is DB04.

services:
  db-backup:
    hostname: db-backup
    container_name: db-backup
    image: tiredofit/db-backup
    user: ${PUID}:${PGID}

The logs appear to show that the influx backup worked:

However, the influx backup is not present, where other backups all worked as expected:

When comparing to logs for other backups that did work, the influx logs appear to be missing some steps (though no idea what). Postgres logs, for example:

Influx is version 2.

services:
  influxdb:
    hostname: influxdb
    container_name: influxdb
    image: influxdb:2
    user: ${PUID}:${PGID}
    networks:
      - app_proxy
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - $DOCKERDIR/appdata/influxdb2:/var/lib/influxdb2
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      ## HTTP Routers
      - "traefik.http.routers.influxdb-rtr.rule=Host(`influxdb.${DOMAINNAME_1}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.influxdb-rtr.entrypoints=websecure"
      ## Middlewares
      - "traefik.http.routers.influxdb-rtr.middlewares=chain-no-auth@file"
      ## HTTP Services
      - "traefik.http.routers.influxdb-rtr.service=influxdb-svc"
      - "traefik.http.services.influxdb-svc.loadBalancer.server.port=8086"

I can log into the influx UI by copy/pasting credentials used in the backup compose, and view graphs, data, etc.

So I have no idea what next steps to take on getting the influx backup to work. I've reviewed the documentation for any environment variables I am mis-using or missing. I do not see in the discussions where anyone else is having issues similar to this.

DEBUG_BACKUP_INFLUX=TRUE should give you more output when backing up and give you at least the command line that is being used to backup. You can try to adjust the command line to see which way actually makes a backup for you.. It'll start with influx backup --org ...

If adjustments need to be made we can just work with your working command line string.

I added that config option - there does not appear to be a command line present in the debug info, though. Influx backup (DB04) is set to run at 1:15AM:

[tiredofit]

Ineresting. - A whole bunch of Debug info will come with DEBUG_MODE=TRUE and may take a bit to sift through the output..

[DowlingIT]

Alright. I'll set that and share results tomorrow.

I still don't see where it is trying the actual backup. This is all of the logs for the influx backup, which occurs at 01:15

Comparing this to other logs, it seems like this is missing sections. It gets to selecting version 2, and then ends. I don't really know what some of the intervening text should display - should dbnames be blank?

I see it got a 200 status on checking the influx health, and properly selected influx v 2
