This project implements a DB backend using MySql. It is accessible via HTTP which the fxa-auth-server will use. Currently a work in progress.
Note: Since this project is a work in progress, these instructions are also a WIP.
- node 0.10.x or higher
- npm
- mysql
In config.js
you can see a set of defaults for various config options. Go take a look and
then create a new local file called .fxa_dbrc
. This will contain a set of values to override
the defaults. For example, if you have a password set for your MySql root
user, you might try
something like this:
{
"master": {
"password": "mysecret"
},
"slave": {
"password": "mysecret"
}
}
Once you have your config in place, you can create and patch the database using the
db_patcher.js
command. Try this:
node bin/db_patcher.js
This should create the database (if it doesn't yet exist), and apply each patch located
in db/schema/*.sql
in the correct order. If this command fails and can't connect to the
database, please check your mysql configuration and connectivity on the command line.
Once the database has been created and patched, you can start the server:
npm start
Once this has started up, it will be listening on locahost:8000
(or whatever port you
set in your .fxa_dbrc
..
You may want to clear the data from the database periodically. You can just drop the database but make sure there is nothing in it that you want to keep:
mysql -u root -p -e 'DROP DATABASE fxa'
The server will automatically re-create it on next use.
