🪄Once your server is ready, follow these steps to deploy and host your app🚀
NB: if you have not already, fill the form to receive the instructions
1) Host, Username, and Password
We will send you the following informations:
Host: XXX.datapage.app
Username: XXX
Password: your password
You can use these identifiers to connect to your SQLPage cloud server via SFTP.
2) How to Connect to the Server
It is an SFTP connection.
We recommend Filezilla to access the server. Here is how you can configure Filezilla:
3) What is Currently on the Server?
You have 2 folders:
sqlpage_config
: contains a YAML file to configure your connection to your database.website
: currently contains the defaultindex.sql
file that generates the welcome page. This is where you will put your SQL files for your app (such as your ownindex.sql
file).
4) What is the YAML File in the Folder sqlpage_config
?
You have the link to the default PostgreSQL database hosted on the server. You can use this database or connect to your database directly by changing the database URL. For instance, if you have a MySQL connection, you need to change the database_url
to point to your MySQL database.
Here is an example for a MySQL database_url
:
mysql://username:password@host:port/database
5) What You Will See When Connecting to https://XXX.datapage.app/
Before you put any SQL files in the website
folder, you can see by default this page:
Once you start putting your SQL files in the website
folder on the server, your SQLPage app will appear at this address.
That is it! you are all set 🚀
