influxdb: Ubuntu repo only provides 2.x and NOT FOUND

Today I was doing linux updates, and first of all I was veery surprised to get the 2.0.1 as version. infuxdb 2.0 is requiring some work when coming from 1.8 … so maybe a bad idea to have as “just there” update. So I was a bit “shocked”

Additionally then the follwoing error occured:

Err:1 https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 influxdb amd64 2.0.1
  404  Not Found [IP: 143.204.89.64 443]
E: Failed to fetch https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu/pool/stable/i/influxdb/influxdb_2.0.1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 143.204.89.64 443]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

@psteinbachs I think influxdb2 package is a great idea!

@psteinbachs BTW: Should it not be better to especially check if there is enough available space to have all influxdb data twice n that system? 😉 Or at least add the “hey we copy all data” to the upgrade info text so that users know before they execute the upgrade shell script!

We’re investigating changing the way influxd upgrade works so that a full copy isn’t necessary, but we’ll add a disk space check or at least additional note to the shell script.

@SuperTux88 Me too. It doesn’t upgrade any data unless you manually run influx upgrade (and even then it’s a copy, leaving the previous intact). You’ll have been running 2.x with an empty database for a while, that’s all. There will be some stray files (e.g. config.toml) that you might clean up if you wanted to erase all trace of the unfortunate incident, otherwise everything should be fine.

The 2.x package was not intended to be published as we have additional work to do in providing an update transition. As such, the package has been removed from the repo for the moment. You can still download/install it directly via:

wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb_2.0.1_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i influxdb_2.0.1_amd64.deb

Note if you plan to do this you should follow the appropriate upgrade documentation at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/upgrade/
