Database Hosting Overview

Platform provides a set of scalable and fully manageable database servers that you can easily install and operate with. The process of a new database creation is fairly simple and can be accomplished in just a few minutes.

  1. Open the Topology wizard through either clicking New environment (to set up a new environment) or selecting the Change environment topology button (to add database to the already existing environment).

Locale Dropdown

  1. Then refer to the SQL or NoSQL wizard section to select database server of the corresponding type.

Locale Dropdown

Use the drop-down list to choose among the available DB management systems:

  • for SQL - MySQL 5.6 / 5.7, MariaDB 5.5 / 10.1, PostgreSQL 9.5, PerconaDB 5.6, MSSQL 2012
  • for NoSQL - MongoDB 2.6 / 3.4, CouchDB 1.6, Redis 2.8 / 3.2, Neo4j 1.9 / 2.3 / 3.0, Cassandra 2.2.4 / 3.0, OrientDB 1.7.4 / 2
Note

The list of available database servers can vary and depends on your hosting provider settings. If some of these servers are not available in your wizard, please, contact your hosting provider for activation.

When the corresponding database server is created, you’ll receive an email notification with credentials (access URL, login and password) to the database administration panel.

  1. To launch your database admin panel, click the Open in Browser button next to the target database node at the dashboard (or compose the admin panel URL manually).

Locale Dropdown

In the opened page, use credentials from the email to log in and start applying configurations required by your application.

Tip

For containers without Public IP address attached, the database admin console is available via https:// by default.

When your database server is up and ready, you can Connect your application to DB.

Database Password Reset​

To Reset password for a database node, click the same-named button next to it at the dashboard (or for a set of scaled DB instances to get new credentials for all of them at once).

Locale Dropdown

As a result, you’ll receive email with a new password to access your database admin console.

Database Admin Panel URL​

The administration panel URL for DB servers should consist of the following parts:

node{node_id}-{environment_name}.{hoster_domain}

where

  • {node_id} - ID of the target database container that can be located at the dashboard (e.g. 35316 for MongoDB)

Locale Dropdown

  • {environment-name} - name of the environment you’ve added the server to (e.g. database)
  • {hoster_domain} - your hosting provider domain; can be found within the last column of the appropriate table in the Hosters Info page
Note

In case your hosting provider platform has several environment regions to choose, the {hoster_domain} value for your environment can differ from the general platform’s one.

In such a way, the whole access URL for the database administration panel will be the following in our case:

https://node35316-database.jelastic.com
