Postgres

Postgres provides the option to use an externally located database that also supports high availability.

The following steps are required to use Postgres:

  1. Download the Postgres JDBC driver and place it somewhere accessible to NiFi Registry

    
    /path/to/drivers/postgresql-42.2.2.jar
    
  2. Create a database inside Postgres

    
    createdb nifireg
    
  3. Create a database user and grant privileges

    
    psql nifireg
    CREATE USER nifireg WITH PASSWORD 'changeme';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nifireg to nifireg;
    \q
    
  4. Configure the database properties in nifi-registry.properties

    
    nifi.registry.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://<POSTGRES-HOSTNAME>/nifireg
    nifi.registry.db.driver.class=org.postgresql.Driver
    nifi.registry.db.driver.directory=/path/to/drivers
    nifi.registry.db.username=nifireg
    nifi.registry.db.password=changeme
