Influx issues: how to continue after data loss

As mentioned before after a server restart I lock my entire InfluxDB database. I had files and everything, but the server booted up into an initial setup screen. I waited for some support for a few weeks, but without getting much help, I have given up on saving my data and set up my system again. This video is about this journey and what will I do different this time.
