Data source: Custom

You need to set up machine for Database Lab instance first. Check the Setup machine for the Database Lab Engine guide for the details.

Configuration

With this data source type you can use any PostgreSQL backup tool (e.g. pg_basebackup, Barman, pgBackRest) to transfer the data to the Database Lab Engine instance.

Jobs

To set up it you need to use following jobs:

Options

Copy the contents of configuration example config.example.physical_generic.yml from the Database Lab repository to ~/.dblab/server.yml. For demo purposes we've made example based on pg_basebackup tool, but you can use any tool suitable for the task. Check and update the following options:

  • Set secure server:verificationToken, it will be used to authorize API requests to the Engine;
  • Set connection options in physicalRestore:options:envs, based on your tool;
  • Set PostgreSQL commands in physicalRestore:options:customTool:
    • command: defines the command to restore data using a custom tool;
    • restore_command: defines the PostgreSQL restore_command configuration option to refresh data;
  • Set a proper version in Postgres Docker images tags (change the images itself only if you know what are you doing):
    • provision:options:dockerImage;
    • retrieval:spec:physicalRestore:options:dockerImage;
    • retrieval:spec:physicalSnapshot:options:promotion:dockerImage.

Run Database Lab Engine

sudo docker run \
--name dblab_server \
--label dblab_control \
--privileged \
--publish 2345:2345 \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volume /var/lib/dblab:/var/lib/dblab/:rshared \
--volume ~/.dblab/server.yml:/home/dblab/configs/config.yml \
--env DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.39 \
--detach \
--restart on-failure \
postgresai/dblab-server:2.0.0-beta.3

Restart in the case of failure
