This is due to a current bug in Docker that is detailed in [docker/docker#8755](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8755). ### Web Administrator Interface Navigate to [localhost:8083](http://localhost:8083) with your browser while running the container. See more about using the web admin [here](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/tools/web_admin/). + +The web administrator interface requires that the web browser have access to InfluxDB. You must expose the InfluxDB HTTP port as the same port when using the admin interface.
