Production Database

Last Updated: May 2020

In this part of the production deployment guide, you will learn how to initialize and configure the Tethys Portal database for production.

1. Set Database Settings

Set the database settings in the portal_config.yml using the tethys settings command:

tethys settings --set DATABASES.default.NAME tethys_platform --set DATABASES.default.USER <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME> --set DATABASES.default.PASSWORD <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD> --set DATABASES.default.HOST <TETHYS_DB_HOST> --set DATABASES.default.PORT <TETHYS_DB_PORT>

Note

Replace <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME> and <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD> with the values you determined during the Preparation step. Replace <TETHYS_DB_HOST> and <TETHYS_DB_PORT> with the host and port of your database. If you installed the database on the same server as your Tethys Portal, these would be localhost and 5432, respectively.

Important

DO NOT USE DEFAULT USERNAMES OR PASSWORDS FOR PRODUCTION DATABASE ACCOUNTS

2. Create Tethys Database and Database Users

Use the tethys db create command to create the database users and tables required by Tethys Portal:

PGPASSWORD=<POSTGRES_PASSWORD> tethys db create --username <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME> --password <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD> --superuser-name <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_USERNAME> --superuser-password <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_PASSWORD>

Note

Replace <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME>, <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD>, <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_USERNAME>, <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_PASSWORD>, and <POSTGRES_PASSWORD> with the values you determined during the Preparation step. The tethys db create command uses the portal_config.yml to get the normal database user credentials, host, and port.

Important

DO NOT USE DEFAULT USERNAMES OR PASSWORDS FOR PRODUCTION DATABASE ACCOUNTS

3. Create Tethys Database Tables

Run the following command to create the Tethys database tables:

tethys db migrate

4. Create Portal Admin User

You will need to create at least one Portal Admin account to allow you to login to your Tethys Portal. Create the account as follows:

tethys db createsuperuser --portal-superuser-name <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_USERNAME> --portal-superuser-email '<PORTAL_SUPERUSER_EMAIL>' --portal-superuser-pass <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD>

Note

Replace <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_USERNAME>, <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_EMAIL>, and <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD> with the values you determined during the Preparation step.

Important

DO NOT USE DEFAULT USERNAMES OR PASSWORDS FOR PRODUCTION PORTAL ADMIN ACCOUNTS

Tip: One Command

You can accomplish the three steps above using the tethys db configure command. It is equivalent of running the following commands:

  • tethys db init (skipped if using a Docker or system database)

  • tethys db start (skipped if using a Docker or system database)

  • tethys db create --username <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME> --password <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD> --superuser-name <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_USERNAME> --superuser-password <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_PASSWORD>

  • tethys db migrate

  • tethys db createsuperuser --portal-superuser-name <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_USERNAME> --portal-superuser-email '<PORTAL_SUPERUSER_EMAIL>' --portal-superuser-pass <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD>

Simply pass all arguments to the command:

tethys db configure --username <TETHYS_DB_USERNAME> --password <TETHYS_DB_PASSWORD> --superuser-name <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_USERNAME> --superuser-password <TETHYS_DB_SUPER_PASSWORD> --portal-superuser-name <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_USERNAME> --portal-superuser-email '<PORTAL_SUPERUSER_EMAIL>' --portal-superuser-pass <PORTAL_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD>
