Thingsboard: Installation Postgresql Password

Created on 15 Sep 2017 · 3Comments · Source: thingsboard/thingsboard

I followed the installation instructions for the Raspberry Pi. When trying to start the ThingsBoard service I receive an error that authentication failed for user "postgres".

I changed the postgres user password during installation (as per the link), but cannot figure out how to let the ThingsBoard code know about the new password. Any suggestions?

You set the postgres password in thingsboard.yml. At the very bottom of the file you will see the username and password fields. It is postgres/postgres by default.

Just verify that you can login to your postgres instance with psql using your new password, to ensure that it was set correctly.

I created a pull request to clarify the documentation on this point, as I've missed it as well.
