--- title: influxd run description: The influxd run command is the default influxd command and starts the influxd server. url: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influxd/run/ estimated_tokens: 2475 product: InfluxDB OSS v2 version: v2 --- # influxd run 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] ``` Because `run` is the default command for `influxd`, the following commands are the same: ```bash influxd influxd run ``` For information about other available InfluxDB configuration methods, see [InfluxDB configuration options](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/). ## Flags -
