Please help.

I can not replicate this on my test system
I can replicate this with a fresh installation, I will have a look.

Did you install it via dietpi-software?
And can you check if your system time is correct.

Looks like they changed their key: https://darkwolfcave.de/influxdata-gpg-key-problem-loesung/

When the error appears during installation, choose Open subshell and do:

curl -fsSL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat-exp2029.key \
| gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/dietpi-influxdb.gpg --yes
apt update
exit

And when you’re back in the menu choose Retry.


@MichaIng We should add [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/influxdata.gpg] in the script? Bullseye supports this syntax too, so no version switch needed.
ok that was not the problem, the new key is just at https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat-exp2029.key
But maybe we could think about supporting influxdb2? Version 3 is out since April '25 :sweat_smile:

I followed the above instructions.
Then installation error.

Yes sorry, my fault.
I corrected my mistake in my post, but you do now, also in the subshell again:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dietpi-influxdb.list
curl -sSfL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat-exp2029.key | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/dietpi-influxdb.gpg --yes
echo 'deb https://repos.influxdata.com/debian bookworm stable' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dietpi-influxdb.list
apt update
exit

I executed the new commands again.
The shell shows this error.

Can you show

ls /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
ls /etc/apt/keyrings/

Success.
I did it again and now Influxdb installed correctly.
Thank you very much for your help.

Next release will solve it, and migrate to new key and sources list format (DEB822) as well: dietpi-software: InfluxDB: update repo key · MichaIng/DietPi@6f2c261 · GitHub
