Hasura GraphQL Engine DigitalOcean One-click App
================================================
Hasura GraphQL Engine is available as a One-click app on DigitalOcean. It is
packed with a Postgres database and `Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/>`__
webserver for easy and automatic HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.
Quickstart
----------
1. Create Hasura One-click Droplet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a new droplet and choose Hasura GraphQL Engine under One-click apps while
choosing the image.
2. Open console
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once Hasura GraphQL Engine One-Click Droplet is ready, you can visit the Droplet
IP to open Hasura console, where you can create tables, explore GraphQL APIs
etc. Note that it might take 1 or 2 minutes for everything to start running.
The Hasura console will be at:
.. code-block:: bash
http://your_droplet_ip/console
The GraphQL Endpoint will be:
.. code-block:: bash
http://your_droplet_ip/v1alpha1/graphql
A Postgres database is also provisioned on the Droplet. Using the console, you
can create a table on this Postgres instance and make your first GraphQL query.

3. Create a table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Navigate to ``Data -> Create table`` on the console and create a table called ``profile`` with the following columns:
``profile``
=============== ========
column name type
=============== ========
``id`` Integer (auto-increment)
``name`` Text
=============== ========
Choose ``id`` as the Primary key and click the ``Create`` button.

4. Insert sample data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the table is created, go to the ``Insert Row`` tab and insert some sample rows:
.. code-block:: bash
Thor
Iron Man
Hulk
Captain America
Black Widow

5. Try out GraphQL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Switch to the ``GraphiQL`` tab on top and execute the following GraphQL query:
.. code-block:: graphql
query {
profile {
id
name
}
}
.. image:: https://graphql-engine-cdn.hasura.io/heroku-repo/assets/hasura_graphql_query.png

Secure the GraphQL endpoint
---------------------------
By default Hasura is exposed without any access key. Anyone can read and write
to your database using GraphQL. When deploying to production, you should secure
the endpoint by adding an access key and then setting up permission rules on
tables.
To add an access key, follow the steps given below:
1. Connect to the Droplet via SSH:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
2. Goto ``/etc/hasura`` directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /etc/hasura
3. Edit ``docker-compose.yaml`` and un-comment the line that mentions access key.
Also change it to some unique secret:
.. code-block:: bash
vim docker-compose.yaml
...
# un-comment next line to add an access key
HASURA_GRAPHQL_ACCESS_KEY: mysecretaccesskey
...
# type ESC followed by :wq to save and quit
4. Update the container:
.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose up -d
That's it. Visit the console at ``http://your_droplet_ip/console`` and it should
prompt for the access key. Further API requests can be made by adding the
following header:
.. code-block:: bash
X-Hasura-Access-Key: mysecretaccesskey
Adding a domain & Enabling HTTPS
--------------------------------
If you own a domain, you can enable HTTPS on this Droplet by mapping the domain
to the Droplet IP. The One-Click Droplet is configured with Caddy which is an
HTTP/2 web server with automatic HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.
1. Go to your domain's DNS dashboard and add an A record mapping the domain to the Droplet IP.
2. Connect to the Droplet via SSH:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
3. Goto ``/etc/hasura`` directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /etc/hasura
4. Edit ``Caddyfile`` and change ``:80`` to your domain:
.. code-block:: bash
vim Caddyfile
...
add_your-domain-here {
proxy / graphql-engine:8080 {
websocket
}
}
...
# type ESC followed by :wq to save and quit
5. Restart the container:
.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose restart caddy
Visit ``https://your_domain/console`` to visit the Hasura console.
Updating to latest version
--------------------------
When a new version of GraphQL Engine is released, you can upgrade to it by just
changing the version tag in docker-compose.yaml. You can find the latest
releases in the GitHub releases page.
1. Connect to the Droplet via SSH:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
2. Goto ``/etc/hasura`` directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /etc/hasura
3. Edit ``docker-compose.yaml`` and change the image tag to the latest one:
.. code-block:: bash
vim docker-compose.yaml
...
graphql-engine:
image: hasura/graphql-engine:latest_tag_here
...
# type ESC followed by :wq to save and quit
4. Restart the container:
.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose up -d
Using a different database
--------------------------
1. Connect to the Droplet via SSH:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
2. Goto ``/etc/hasura`` directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /etc/hasura
3. Setup the database that you wish to use, preferably via Docker Compose
4. Edit ``docker-compose.yaml`` and change the database URL:
.. code-block:: bash
vim docker-compose.yaml
...
# change the url to use a different database
HASURA_GRAPHQL_DATABASE_URL: postgres://<new-database-url>/<new-database-name>
...
# type ESC followed by :wq to save and quit
Logs
----
1. Connect to the Droplet via SSH:
.. code-block:: bash
ssh root@your_droplet_ip
2. Goto ``/etc/hasura`` directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /etc/hasura
3. To checks logs for any container, use the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose logs <container_name>
Where ``<container_name>`` is one of ``graphql-engine``, ``postgres`` or
``caddy``.
