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": {
    "PostgreSqlConnection": "Host=postgres;Port=5432;Database=reconmap;Username=reconmapper;Password=reconmapped;"
  }
}

Adjust the values (Host, Port, Database, Username, Password) according to your environment.

Docker Compose environment

If you are using the default compose.yaml, the PostgreSQL service is named postgres and the credentials match the example above.

  postgres:
    image: ghcr.io/reconmap/rest-api-db:latest
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: reconmuppet

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