Configuring database settings

The database settings for the Reconmap API (NGAPI) are stored in the appsettings.json file. When using Docker Compose, this file is typically mapped from config-ngapi.json in the project root.

Example configuration

In your config-ngapi.json, the database connection string should look like this:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "MySqlConnection": "server=rmap-mysql;port=3306;database=reconmap;user=reconmapper;password=reconmapped;"
  }
}

Adjust the values (server, port, database, user, password) according to your environment.

Docker Compose environment

If you are using the default compose.yaml, the MySQL service is named rmap-mysql and the credentials match the example above.

  mysql:
    container_name: rmap-mysql
    image: ghcr.io/reconmap/rest-api-db:latest
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: reconmuppet

The database schema and initial data are automatically applied when the rmap-mysql container starts for the first time.
