This main branch contains InfluxDB v3 in pre-release and under active development. Build artifacts are not yet generally available and official installation instructions will be coming later this year. For now, a Dockerfile is provided and can be adapted or used for inspiration by intrepid users.

- For v2 installation, use the [main 2.x branch](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/tree/main-2.x).
- **v3 development is on this main branch. This project is actively under development and is not considered stable.**
