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).

Running [InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v2/install/) at the edge lets you collect, process, transform, and analyze high-precision data locally.**Edge Data Replication** lets you replicate data from distributed edge environments to [InfluxDB Cloud](/influxdb/cloud/sign-up/), aggregating and storing data for long-term management and analysis.

> [!Note]
> While replicating data from InfluxDB OSS to InfluxDB Cloud is the most common use case, you may also replicate data from any InfluxDB bucket to a bucket in another InfluxDB instance, for example, InfluxDB OSS, InfluxDB Cloud, or InfluxDB Enterprise.

### [Replicate data from InfluxDB OSS](/influxdb/v2/write-data/replication/replicate-data/)

Replicate data from select InfluxDB OSS buckets to remote buckets in InfluxDB Cloud, InfluxDB OSS, or InfluxDB Enterprise instances.
