Configure ADCM to use an external database

ADCM supports operations with external databases. In particular, PostgreSQL databases are supported. If no external database is specified, the built-in SQlite database is used by default.

IMPRORTANT
PostgreSQL database is recommended for use in the product environment. SQLite database is intended for experimental purposes.

The prerequisites to use the external PostgreSQL database are:

  • The user, the database, and the user password must be created (DATABASE_USERNAME, DATABASE_NAME, DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD in the example below).

  • The user must be the owner of the external PostgreSQL database.

CREATE USER '<DATABASE_USERNAME>' with encrypted password '<DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD>';
CREATE DATABASE '<DATABASE_NAME>' OWNER '<DATABASE_USERNAME>';

To run ADCM using PostgreSQL as a database, use the following command:

$ sudo docker run -d --restart=always -p 8000:8000 -v /opt/adcm:/adcm/data
  -e DB_HOST="<DATABASE_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS>" -e DB_PORT="<DATABASE_TCP_PORT>"
  -e DB_USER="<DATABASE_USERNAME>" -e DB_NAME="<DATABASE_NAME>"
  -e DB_PASS="<DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD>" --name adcm hub.arenadata.io/adcm/adcm:latest

Use -v /opt/adcm:/adcm/data:Z for SELinux.
