Setting up PostgreSQL

Setting up the database and users

Follow the instructions below to set up the PostgreSQL database and users.

Login to PostgreSQL using a client (e.g. psql). Enter the following command in a command prompt, where USER_NAME is the username that you will use to access the databases and POSTGRE_HOST_IP is the IP of the host of PostgreSQL server.

psql -h <POSTGRE_HOST_IP> -U <USER_NAME> -W

When prompted, specify the password that will be used to access the databases with the username you specified.

In the PostgreSQL command prompt, create the database using the following command:

postgres# CREATE DATABASE ;

Give authorization to the user you use to access the databases as follows.

For example, let's consider devportaladmin as the user.

postgres# grant all privileges on database to devportaladmin;

Log out from the Postgres command prompt by executing the following command:

postgres# quit;

Executing db scripts to create tables on PostgreSQL database

To create tables for the devportal, execute the relevant script as shown below.

psql -U \-d \-f /artifacts/script.sql -W

Changing the database to PostgreSQL

1. Navigate to the config.json file in the <DEVPORTAL_HOME> directory.

2. Edit the db properties to connect to the created db.

db = {

    username: 'postgres',

    password: 'postgres',

    database: 'devportal',

    host: 'localhost',

    dialect: 'postgres'
}

Changing the config.json properties

port = 3000

mode = 'development'

pathToContent = "./src/"

port

Default port of the devportal web app

mode

development/production

pathToContent

The path to the src folder, containing the dev-portal pages to load in development mode.

To update the developer portal with the customized content, follow the instructions in the [QuickStart.md].
