Summary

The latest version of InfluxDB OSS (version 2.0.4) has been released on Docker Hub, causing some users to be unexpectedly upgraded from InfluxDB 1.8 to the new version due to using the :latest tag in their deployments. This update was not intended for production use and can cause compatibility issues with existing data files. Users who have been affected are advised to either upgrade their data to work with the new version or roll back to the previous version, with documentation provided on how to do so. The :latest tag is meant to be used only in development and testing environments, and Docker Hub will continue to update the tag to point to new versions of InfluxDB OSS 2.x as they are released.
