RethinkDB: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start RethinkDB, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use RethinkDB cloud service designed for reliability and ease of use. You benefit from:

• Smooth updates with a single click
• High performance and enhanced security on your own private, dedicated infrastructure

Get started quickly: you can try Stackhero's RethinkDB cloud hosting in just a few minutes. Stackhero takes care of installation and management, so you can focus on developing your application.

You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.

# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx

# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if needed)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
  --service=svc-xxxxxx \
  --configuration='{ "...": "..." }'

# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx

That's it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated way. To learn more, refer to the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
