Feedback: what if you need to access the UI on port 8086 from another IP address? This doesn't work out of the box one linux.

This feedback is partially beyond the scope of our documentation. The solution requires some linux/server configuration to make the port accessible to the network and there are many ways to go about this.

Acceptance Criteria:
Lets mention the process of making the port accessible to the network, but link out to external resources

Research direction

Start with the InfluxDB v2.2 installation page at docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.2/install/. Document the general process for making port 8086 accessible from another IP address on Linux, and link to external resources for server and network configuration. Done means the page mentions this setup and provides useful external links.
