RethinkDB: Connecting to the RethinkDB server with the CLI

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: Learn how to set up and secure your RethinkDB instance on Stackhero.

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.

If you need to perform dump and restore operations on your RethinkDB instance, you can use the RethinkDB CLI from your local machine or any other server. All Stackhero services use encrypted connections (TLS) by default, so you need to provide the --tls-cert parameter to specify the location of your local CA certificates.

For example, here is how you might back up your RethinkDB database:

rethinkdb dump \
  --tls-cert /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  -c <XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:29015 \
  -p

Be sure to replace <XXXXXX> with your actual Stackhero instance name.
