I was following steps mentioned in chap05 and getting the following authentication error

Has anything changed in influx db version 2.0.8

docker run --rm --network host -v "$(PWD):/usr/src/app" weather --input wx.txt --db weatherdb

I encountered the same issue and worked around it by adding the following .env file to each chapter to select specific versions of each container.

~/Learn-Grafana-7.0/Chapter06# cat .env INFL_TAG=1.7.8 GRAF_TAG=7.5.0

@vl306 : I'm sorry, I just now saw your issue.

This issue was first surfaced in #2. You are correct, you can pin the influxDB version by modifying the docker-compose.yml or override it with an .env file.
