Description

In the documentation it is stated that:

> Replicate data from InfluxDB OSS to InfluxDB Cloud, InfluxDB OSS, or InfluxDB Enterprise.

but according to an answer to a user question from September (see link below) it only works from OSS to Cloud. Please fix the documentation. Or, preferably, the OSS version with ability to accept replication, or at least fail with an error.

Research direction

Start with the replication page at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/write-data/replication/replicate-data/ and compare its claim with the linked community answer. Confirm which replication targets are supported, then update the documentation to describe the supported behavior accurately. The issue also requests an OSS implementation or error, but no implementation location is provided.
