This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS.[InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a
copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing
tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t
be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still
need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

The `influxd run` command is the default command for `influxd`.
It starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function.

## Usage

```
influxd run [flags]
```

> [!Note]
> Because `run` is the default command for `influxd`, the following commands are the same:
> ```
> influxd
> influxd run
> ```

```bash
influxd
influxd run
```

> [!Note]
> For information about other available InfluxDB configuration methods, see[InfluxDB configuration options](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/).
