To configure your database, you will need to edit the config/database.yml file.

The defaults are set to use MySQL, but Wagn has been well tested in PostgreSQL (including full-text search), and there are rumors that it functions properly with SQLite too.

This is a standard Ruby-on-Rails setup, so if you encounter problems with database configuration and can't find answers here, considering broadening your search beyond "wagn database installation" to "rails database installation".

posgresql 9.4 binaries (should set postgresql ENV!)

all postgresql 9.4 binaries are installed at /usr/pgsql-9.4/bin

Change password for the 'postgres' user

sudo passwd postgres

If root/sudo rights are unavailable use sudo:
sudo -i -u postgres
at the prompt then enter:
passwd to change the user password

Decko installation

create a db user (asks for the password twice) will have to be written at the `config/database.yml`

# -d (--createdb) (role can create new databases)
# -P (--pwprompt) (assign a password to new role)
createuser -d <db_user> -P (CREATE ROLE alias)

create database which will have to be written at the `config/database.yml`

# probably not needed decko seed will create the database
# create database via user
# -O (--owner=OWner) (database user to own the new database)
# createdb -O <db_user> <database>

Edit Gemfile and add the `pg` gem

gem 'pg', '~> 0.18'

edit config/database.yml

# Add this after the cucumber: *test line

production: &production
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: <database_name>
  pool: 5
  username: <db_user>
  password: <db_user_password>
  host: localhost

I'm fuzzy here on the profile (probably if you want to change to production then change it?)
@ethn could you please fill it here?
profile: *production

What is the correct format for production deployment?

Now to install all gems and seed the application

install decko gem

gem install decko

install new application

decko new _app_name_

change directory

cd _app_name_

install all needed gems (this is probably optional but I'm used to doing it manually)

bundle install

prefill the DB and have the original configuration

decko seed

If everything went fine you should see:

bundle exec rake decko:seed
--> Database '<db_name>' already exists  (This is extra as I had the database already)

Then you can start the built-in WEBrick server as mentioned at the https://github.com/decko-commons/decko/blob/master/decko/README.rdoc

You should see (when started correctly):

decko server

=> Rails 5.1.4 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
Thin web server (v1.7.2 codename Bachmanity)

Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop

Install the package:

# apt-get install mysql2

Try to install the gem

$ gem install mysql2

If you're planning on using the mysql2 gem for your application then you'll want to install the libmysqlclient-dev package before you do that. Without it, you'll get an error when the gem tries to compile its native extensions:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

ERROR: Error installing mysql2:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary

need configuration options.

Install this package using:

$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

If you are running mysql and rake complains about not being able to find your mysql.sock file, you will need to add "socket: " to each of the database definitions

Example database.yml for Development

development:
adapter: mysql
socket: /var/mysql/mysql.sock
