Hangfire.PostgreSql

Build status GitHub release (latest by date) Nuget

This is an plugin to the Hangfire to enable PostgreSQL as a storage system. Read about hangfire here: https://github.com/HangfireIO/Hangfire#overview and here: http://hangfire.io/

Instructions

For .NET

Install Hangfire, see https://github.com/HangfireIO/Hangfire#installation

Download all files from this repository, add the Hangfire.PostgreSql.csproj to your solution. Reference it in your project, and you are ready to go by using:

app.UseHangfireServer(new BackgroundJobServerOptions(),
  new PostgreSqlStorage("<connection string or its name>"));
app.UseHangfireDashboard();

For ASP.NET Core

First, NuGet package needs installation.

  • Hangfire.AspNetCore
  • Hangfire.PostgreSql (Uses Npgsql 6)
  • Hangfire.PostgreSql.Npgsql5 (Uses Npgsql 5)

Historically both packages were functionally the same up until the package version 1.9.11, the only difference was the underlying Npgsql dependency version. Afterwards, the support for Npgsql v5 has been dropped and now minimum required version is 6.0.0.

In Startup.cs ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) method add the following line:

services.AddHangfire(config =>
    config.UsePostgreSqlStorage(c =>
        c.UseNpgsqlConnection(Configuration.GetConnectionString("HangfireConnection"))));

In Configure method, add these two lines:

app.UseHangfireServer();
app.UseHangfireDashboard();

And... That's it. You are ready to go.

If you encounter any issues/bugs or have idea of a feature regarding Hangfire.Postgresql, create us an issue. Thanks!

Enabling SSL support

SSL support can be enabled for Hangfire.PostgreSql library using the following mechanism:

config.UsePostgreSqlStorage(c =>
    c.UseNpgsqlConnection(
        Configuration.GetConnectionString("HangfireConnection"), // connection string,
        connection => // connection setup - gets called after instantiating the connection and before any calls to DB are made
        {
            connection.ProvideClientCertificatesCallback += clientCerts =>
            {
                clientCerts.Add(X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("[CERT_FILENAME]"));
            };
        }
    )
);
