Database configuration

This section details the configuration options you can pass when deploying the backend. As described in the overview, we provide both the environment variable for stock deployment and the application.yaml variant for recompilation.

Environment variable	application.yaml	Description
DAMAP_DATASOURCE_URL	damap.datasource.url	The JDBC connect string in the format of jdbc:postgresql://SERVERNAME:5432/DATABASENAME.
DAMAP_DATABASE_DB_KIND	damap.dataasource.db_kind	Your database engine kind (postgresql or oracle).
DAMAP_DATASOURCE_USERNAME	damap.datasource.username	Username for database authentication.
DAMAP_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD	damap.datasource.password	Password for database authentication.
DAMAP_DATASOURCE_DIALECT	damap.datasource.dialect	Dialect for the Hibernate ORM. Defaults to org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect.

Warning

We officially only support PostgreSQL as a database engine. Oracle is supported only on a best effort basis.

Warning

A change in the database engine requires either recompilation from source or re-augmentation. The default DAMAP backend container does this automatically, but requires write access to the container root filesystem. For custom containers you may need to implement re-augmentation in your startup script.
