Description

I Use influxdb 1.8.4 image on debian 10.

When I put .iql file in docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory. They are not executed.
I debugged init-influxdb.sh there is multiple factors :
- If INFLUXDB_INIT_PORT is ommited, INFLUX_CMD is not properly initialized.
- When loading a .iql file with INFLUX_CMD, it seems we cannot use -execute "$(cat ""$f"")". Influx respond something like "empty input".

Fix: I pipe the file into influx with cat
INFLUX_CMD2="influx -host 127.0.0.1 -port $INFLUXDB_INIT_PORT -username ${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER} -password ${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD}"
cat "$f" | $INFLUX_CMD

Research direction

Start with init-influxdb.sh and trace how INFLUXDB_INIT_PORT initializes INFLUX_CMD and how .iql files are passed to influx. Reproduce the initialization with an omitted port and a .iql file, then verify both cases execute successfully using the reported pipe-based behavior.
