influxdb:1.8.10 when deploy it on kubernetes don't create admin user

[marcoferraraUK]

I deployed this container on docker, and it has created correctly the admin user:

docker run --name influxdb -t \
      -e INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED="true" \
      -e INFLUXDB_DB="mydatabase" \
      -e INFLUXDB_USER="user" \
      -e INFLUXDB_USER_PASSWORD="user" \
      -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER="admin" \
      -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD="admin" \
      --restart unless-stopped \
      -d influxdb:1.8.10 

If I try do deploy the same container in Kubernetes the admin user is not created if the env variable INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED is set to true.

My kube version:

root@i-07f6d8752e8d92e7a:/opt/_out/grafana# kubectl version
Client Version: v1.30.0
Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
Server Version: v1.28.0

If I disable INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED create the admin user but the authentication is not enabled.
