Windows users were getting confused by the documentation which only provided Unix-style commands for setting the
INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN
environment variable. This was causing issues for Windows users trying to follow the getting started guide.Before:
The documentation only showed:
export INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
After:
The documentation now provides platform-specific instructions using a tabbed interface:
export INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
$env:INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN = "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
set INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
(with trailing space and explanatory note)The implementation follows the existing pattern used in the cloud-dedicated documentation, using Hugo shortcodes (
{{< tabs-wrapper >}}
,{{% tabs %}}
, and{{% tab-content %}}
) to create an interactive tabbed interface.Since this change is made to the shared content file (
/content/shared/influxdb3-get-started/setup.md
), it automatically applies to both InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise documentation.Fixes #6290.
