Customizing database¶
The following settings are tunable for the Database component.
Settings set by database¶
The following etcd keys are set by the database component, typically in its /bin/boot script.
| setting | description |
|---|---|
| /deis/database/adminPass | database admin password (default: changeme123) |
| /deis/database/adminUser | database admin user (default: postgres) |
| /deis/database/bucketName | store component bucket used for database WAL logs and backups (default: db_wal) |
| /deis/database/engine | database engine (default: postgresql_psycopg2) |
| /deis/database/host | IP address of the host running database |
| /deis/database/name | database name (default: deis) |
| /deis/database/password | database password (default: changeme123) |
| /deis/database/port | port used by the database service (default: 5432) |
| /deis/database/user | database user (default: deis) |
Settings used by database¶
The following etcd keys are used by the database component.
| setting | description |
|---|---|
| /deis/store/gateway/accessKey | S3 API access used to access the deis store gateway (set by store-gateway) |
| /deis/store/gateway/host | host of the store gateway component (set by store-gateway) |
| /deis/store/gateway/port | port of the store gateway component (set by store-gateway) |
| /deis/store/gateway/secretKey | S3 API secret key used to access the deis store gateway (set by store-gateway) |
Using a custom database image¶
You can use a custom Docker image for the database component instead of the image supplied with Deis:
$ deisctl config database set image=myaccount/myimage:latest
This will pull the image from the public Docker registry. You can also pull from a private registry:
$ deisctl config database set image=registry.mydomain.org:5000/myaccount/myimage:latest
Be sure that your custom image functions in the same way as the stock database image shipped with Deis. Specifically, ensure that it sets and reads appropriate etcd keys.
