RethinkDB: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start RethinkDB, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use RethinkDB cloud service designed for reliability and ease of use. You get:

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

Get up and running fast: you can try Stackhero's RethinkDB cloud hosting in just a few minutes. Stackhero handles the setup and management, so you can focus on building 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 is it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated way. To dive deeper, check out the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
