Postgresql --- I don't see entries yet it is running?

Hello.
I am running everything (redis, postgres, mqtt, chirpstack, chirpstack-gateway-bridge) from docker containers. If I go to Chirpstack I see my gateway and 2 nodes and all looks good. I have begun to play with postgresql but know little about it. I logged into

sudo -u postgres psql

and performed a list then did a \c chirpstack …
I can list the fields. but when I try and list the rows I get 0.

Can someone tell me 1. what should I see here? and 2. why don’t I see anything?

I followed the steps and modified chirpstack.toml according to :
https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/chirpstack/integrations/postgresql.html

I have in my toml file:

[integration.postgresql]
    dsn="postgres://chirpstack:chirpstack@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/chirpstack?sslmode=disable"

given the above url suggests:

-- create role for authentication
create role chirpstack_integration with login password 'chirpstack_integration';

-- create database
create database chirpstack_integration with owner chirpstack_integration;

-- exit psql
\q

Do I have the right username and password in toml? Toml came with this already listed under the section so I just copied it???

[postgresql]

Thanks

Something is wrong with the permission I guess.
The owner is chirpstack_integration
And what is the permission for user chirpstack?

This is the basic knowledge of postgres. You may take a look at the user/role at postgres webpages or other pages.

Rest assure that ChirpStack does the right thing.

@IoTThinks …thanks for the link to roles as that is very helpful. I still am having issues. I follow the directions at the link:
https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/chirpstack/integrations/postgresql.html

Per the recommendation I added the [integration.postgresql] section in chirpstack.toml:

[integration]
  enabled=["mqtt", "postgresql"]

  [integration.mqtt]
    server="tcp://$MQTT_BROKER_HOST:183/"
    username="$MQTT_UNAME"
    password="$MQTT_PWD"
    json=true

  [integration.postgresql]
    dsn="postgres://chirpstack:chirpstack@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/chirpstack?sslmode=disable"

This line was copied from a default line in the same file at the top section:

# PostgreSQL configuration.
[postgresql]

 dsn="postgres://chirpstack:chirpstack@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/chirpstack?sslmode=disable"

env variable POSTGRESQL_HOST is defined in docker-compose as postgres

So being new to all this I have a working system except for the postgres piece (and HaSS) so I am not sure exactly what to change here…Do I need to have these two lines match?

Thanks

@bconway …can you help to clarify/comment on this issue as I am following your recommended github repo that you pointed me to a while back: repo

  1. I use the 001…sh command file in /postgresql/initdb and run it at the psql prompt to generate chirpstack db and owner

  1. I modified the chirpstack.toml file
[postgresql]
dsn="postgres://$POSTGRES_USER:$POSTGRES_PASSWORD@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/POSTGRES_DB?sslmode=disable"

AND

[integration]
  enabled=["mqtt", "postgresql"]
[integration.postgresql]
    dsn="postgres://$POSTGRES_USER:$POSTGRES_PASSWORD@$POSTGRESQL_HOST/POSTGRES_DB?sslmode=disable"
  1. I modified docker-compose.yml
 postgres:
    container_name: postgres
    image: postgres:14-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./configuration/postgresql/initdb:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
      - postgresqldata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      #- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=root
      - POSTGRES_USER=chirpstack
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=chirpstack
      - POSTGRES_DB=chirpstack

When I bring docker-compose up -d I get the network_app_server constantly restarting and I cannot get to the network server webpage.

The solution is to put back root as the password and remove the other environment variables for postgres within docker-compose.yml and remove the integration portion that is in chirpstack.toml. But when I do this postgres does NOT log anything. What am I missing here?

Thank you
