Using metrics server with influxDB v1? Is this still possible?

Since I use InfluxDB v1 for my homeassistant application I'd like to write the metrics of my proxmox server to that one as well.
But I'm struggling to find the right configuration to get it to work.
The proxmox GUI looks like it only supports v2 any more and the proxmox FAQ also - from the looks of it - shows only configuration for v2.

Is it still possible to let proxmox talk to a V1 InfluxDB?

here my configuration of the status.cfg:

Code:
influxdb: influxdb-v1
    server 192.168.0.106
    port 8086
    path /write
    ssl 0
    user proxmox_metrics_user
    pass *redacted*
    db proxmox_metrics_server
 
I found this inside the Proxmox Documentation, however it's really not hard to set up an LXC and install Influx db 2 on it, what's stopping you from doing that?
