Description

Trying to add an admin user in order to activate http authentication.

However the admin user doesn't seem to get added.

Here's my docker compose file:

```
influx-client-web:    
image: influxdb:latest    
restart: always    
environment:      
INFLUXDB_DB: 'metrics'      
INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED: 'true'
INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER: '***'      
INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD: '***'
INFLUXDB_HTTP_LOG_ENABLED: 'false'
INFLUXDB_DATA_QUERY_LOG_ENABLED: 'false'    
volumes:        
- influx-web-data:/var/lib/influxdb    
ports:      
- '8086:8086'
```

Research direction

Start with the Docker Compose configuration in the issue, especially the INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER, INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD, INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED, and persistent volume settings. Reproduce the container startup with the shown environment and verify whether the admin user is created and HTTP authentication works; done means the configured user can authenticate.
