Run a process engine

For running a process engine, only a connection to a PostgreSQL database is required. To configure a database connection, the environment variable GO_BPMN_PG_DATABASE_URL must be set - an example:

export GO_BPMN_PG_DATABASE_URL="postgres://usernam:password@127.0.0.1:5432/database?search_path=schema"

Connection string examples and connection pool variables can be found in the pgxpool Go package documentation.

After PostgreSQL database connection is configured, the daemon can be started:

go-bpmn-pgd

Configuration

A process engine daemon is configured via environment variables and/or environment variable files (so called env files).

Run following command to list all available configuration options:

go-bpmn-pgd -list-conf-opts

To display the current configuration, considering set environment variables and specified environment variable files, run following command:

go-bpmn-pgd -list-conf

How to create a custom configuration?

As a starting point, the daemon’s default configuration can be used to create an env file.

go-bpmn-pgd -list-conf > ~/go-bpmn-pgd.env

# edit ~/go-bpmn-pgd.env

go-bpmn-pgd -env-file ~/go-bpmn-pgd.env
