How to configure bootstrap process

To configure the bootstrap process and launch the platform deployment, the first step is creating an extra_vars.yml file containing all the parameters you want to override. For example, you can enable the mysql extension and configure the platform to use it.

extra_vars.yaml

# platform configuration parameters
config:
  # MySQL connection data.
  mysql_server: database-server
  mysql_database: meaningcloud
  mysql_user: mc-user
  mysql_password: mc-pass

# enable and customize extensions
extensions:
  mysql:
    enable: true
    params:
      database: meaningcloud
      user: mc-user
      password: mc-pass

Or you can enable the caddy extension as the platform reverse proxy and the adminer extension to manage the platform database:

extra_vars.yaml

# enable and customize extensions
extensions:
  caddy:
    enable: true
    params:
      http_port: 80
      # Enables HTTPS and automatic certificate generation using Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL
      https_enable: true
      # Port used to serve HTTPS (443 is recommended)
      https_port: 443
      addresses:
        - mconpremise.example.com
  adminer:
    enable: true

Note

The adminer extension will be accessible at https://mconpremise.example.com/dbadmin/

If you don’t want to generate TLS certificates and serve the reverse proxy in port 8080:

extra_vars.yaml

# enable and customize extensions
extensions:
  caddy:
    enable: true
    params:
      http_port: 8080
      https_enable: false
  adminer:
    enable: true

Note

The adminer extension will be accessible at http://<platform_address_or_ip>:8080/dbadmin/
