Secure Console

Ryan Rich -

Datica Secure Console

The Secure Console offers interactive command-line access to your environment's database services, using the corresponding shell. These map out as follows:

  • PostgreSQL: psql
  • MySQL (Percona): mysql
  • MongoDO: mongo

Opening a Secure Console

Using the CLI’s console command and the name of the database service (found in The Platform dashboard):

datica -E "<your_env_name>" console <database name>

For example, for a database named db01:

datica -E "<your_env_name>" console db01

Using the Console With Code Services

The console can also be used with code services, but a command needs to be specified. For example, to run bash on a code service named app01:

datica -E "<your_env_name>" console app01 bash

Take note: the secure console runs in a copy of your code service's container - not one of the application's running containers. This means that any local filesystem changes will not be reflected in the containers for your running application. If there's a post-deploy local filesystem change regularly required, a post-build script is a good solution.

Console vs SSH

The secure console is not SSH, and is quite limited. It is a temporary tunnel, and can at times close abruptly. To enable SSH to your environment’s containers, a VPN is required.
