Use PostgreSQL
You can use NearBeach with PostgreSQL. You can easily run PostgreSQL within the same docker-compose file, or alternatively you can run it separately (external).
External Database
Note
We recommend using an external database like AWS RDS, etc. So you can scale and backup externally to the docker container.
You will need to fill out the following fields. These fields should match how you would log into that database.
Below is the sample code for using PostgreSQL. Please note we do not have any of the docker database setup, as this is not required for externally run databases.
version: '3'
services:
nearbeach:
image: robotichead/nearbeach:latest
container_name: nearbeach
environment:
...
- DB_DATABASE=<<Please fill>>
- DB_USER=<<Please fill>>
- DB_PASSWORD=<<Please fill>>
- DB_HOST=<<please fill>>
- DB_ENGINE=postgresql
- DB_PORT=<<please fill>>
...
You will need to fill out the following fields. These fields should match how you would log into that database.
DB_DATABASE=<<Please fill>>
DB_USER=<<Please fill>>
DB_PASSWORD=<<Please fill>>
DB_HOST=<<please fill>>
DB_ENGINE=postgresql
DB_PORT=<<please fill>>
Docker Database
Note
This will run the database within the docker environment.
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: postgres:latest
container_name: nearbeach-db
ports:
- 5432:5432
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=<<Please fill>>
- POSTGRES_USER=<<Please fill>>
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<<Please fill>>
volumes:
- ./db-data/:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
- ./init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
nearbeach:
image: robotichead/nearbeach:latest
container_name: nearbeach
environment:
...
The above code would be used in your docker-compose file.
