Database Connection

To connect to the database, you need to configure the Environment System in your .env file. You should include the following settings:

DB_HOST="YOUR_HOST"
DB_PORT="YOUR_PORT"
DB_USER="YOUR_USERNAME"
DB_PASSWORD="YOUR_PASSWORD"
DB_NAME="YOUR_DATABASE"

DS_DUMP_INTERVAL="3600"  # Interval for the dump process in seconds
DS_DUMP_PATH="/path/to/"  # Path where dumps will be saved

# OR, alternatively

DS_DB_HOST="YOUR_HOST"
DS_DB_PORT="YOUR_PORT"
DS_DB_USER="YOUR_USERNAME"
DS_DB_PASSWORD="YOUR_PASSWORD"
DS_DB_NAME="YOUR_DATABASE"

DS_DUMP_INTERVAL="3600"  # Interval for the dump process in seconds
DS_DUMP_PATH="/path/to/"  # Path where dumps will be saved

Configuration Details

  • DB_HOST / DS_DB_HOST: The hostname or IP address of your database server.
  • DB_PORT / DS_DB_PORT: The port number on which your database is listening.
  • DB_USER / DS_DB_USER: Your database username.
  • DB_PASSWORD / DS_DB_PASSWORD: The password associated with the database user.
  • DB_NAME / DS_DB_NAME: The name of the database you want to connect to.
