@jstirnaman - I'm not sure why the systemd links are failing (see https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/actions/runs/20318046271/job/58366824186?pr=6643). They all work fine....

@jstirnaman jstirnaman changed the base branch from master to release/influxdb3-v3.8.0 December 18, 2025 13:03

@jdstrand Thanks! This is great. I was able to successfully install and run on AWS Ubuntu. 😎

Two things that come to mind from an experience perspective:

  1. Can we update the docs to highlight the importance of --license-email and --license-type plus confirming email on first run? That's quite hidden unless inspecting the logs and it doesn't error out, so people may think it's working.
  2. Something we can probably adjust for a future release (or perhaps not even release related) is elevating those license .conf pieces up if they're running on Enterprise given how critical they are.

Those can be follow-ups, I don't think they preclude merging this info in.

I can add some language for this.
