What is the default password?

I setup dgraph using your docs - https://docs.dgraph.io/get-started

Then it says to connect to ratel to start running queries.

However, it won't connect at all. Everything is running fine according to docker logs.

There is some mention of a default password, but no mention of what that password is.

There are instructions on how to update the password using dgraph acl command but when I go into the console on the dgraph zero server and try to run that command, it says unknown command "acl" for "dgraph".

Are there any instructions for getting started that actually detail everything you need to do?

Why can't I set the default password via an environment variable similar to many other docker images?

In the latest Dgraph release v1.0.16, ACLs are not available. And for the upcoming v1.1 they'll be available as an enterprise feature and are not enabled by default. Can you share your cluster set up? In the Getting Started page I don't see any instructions that would turn on ACLs.

So, are you saying that there is no login / password required for Ratel to connect?

When I start Ratel, a default username groot is visible in the login form. When I delete it the Login button gets disabled.

I tried using the docker-compose.yml file in the Getting Started originally, but when that didn't work I manually setup each container using Portainer. Perhaps I did something wrong there, but I can figure that out...I'm just not sure about the ratel login/password thing.

I guess one other thing that I don't understand is: Why does the server entry in your docker-compose.yml specify port 7080 here in command: dgraph alpha --my=server:7080 --lur_mb=2048 --zero:5080 but it exposes ports 8080 and 9080 for that same server?

version: "3.2"
services:
  zero:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: dgraph
        target: /dgraph
        volume:
          nocopy: true
    ports:
      - 5080:5080
      - 6080:6080
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph zero --my=zero:5080
  server:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: dgraph
        target: /dgraph
        volume:
          nocopy: true
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9080:9080
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph alpha --my=server:7080 --lru_mb=2048 --zero=zero:5080
  ratel:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: dgraph
        target: /dgraph
        volume:
          nocopy: true
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    command: dgraph-ratel

volumes:
  dgraph:

I got it working by exposing port 7080. After that, zero didn't have any connection errors in the logs.

Anyway, while this was all possibly more difficult than it needed to be - I'll just close this issue and keep exploring. Thanks!

the same problem. After installation. Ratel webpage can be access but can not connect to dgraph server.

[kvdmolen]

Change the default server URL port form 8000 to 8080. Then it will work.

The default 8000 is the port for Ratel. 8080 for dgraph database itself.

I setup dgraph to run locally.
Run zero using: dgraph zero --my=localhost:5080
and alpha using: dgraph alpha --lru_mb=1024 --my=localhost:7080 --zero=localhost:5080

Open Ratel UI in browser: localhost:8000
there trying to connect alpha using: localhost:8080
not connecting.
ACL user and password field is available with groot as default.
How to remove the username and password field.

Why is this closed? The original question was never answered.

And no explanation ... beyond

[WolfgangFahl]

The "server URL" is confusing. There are multiple ports in use by the setup e.g. 5080,6080,8000,8080,9080 - there is no indication what the proper port would be. Entering the port 8080 in my case helped but i don't know why and which port this is. Why does the software not simply try out a few default ports and checks whether the wanted server is behind the port or at least have a button for auto-detection? The ACL username/password should simply vanish and it could also be determined by asking the server what the state of affairs is e.g. ACL is enabled. IMHO the current UI is horrible.

[DarkBlaez]

Using the latest and dev versions I see no changes that address this. Why ot spend some time on the UI and mature it a bit. Address the removal of connections, address the ACL and defaulted groot login entry. One cannot say that is reserved for our enterprise version and yet not provide some semblence of functionality. Many companies offer the most mundane enterprise features. Even Neo4J provides a full enterprise version to developers with some restrictions (contractual).

Some advice here, new products/companies come and go quickly, you want to gain traction then address the issues in this thread. If you need help doing so reach out to me directly. The UI to dgraph is the key interface for most trying this out or trying to evaluate it over ArangoDb, Neo4j, OrientDB (not procured by SAP), so many on the market now and yet only a few have great UI.

Please address these outlined issues above, perhaps puttng a checkbox next to ACL to enable/disable. I have also noticed that the entry field for dgraph-zero is being truncated by a single digit. Also, there seems to be no way to remove prior connections, they just keep piling up. First and foremost there are many UI designs available as reference designs, no need to omit key elements even upon a first release. It's like taking a cake out of the oven before it's fully cooked, it might taste great, texture sucks, people wont eat it.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. The default password for groot is password.
The server URL to use in Ratel UI is the Dgraph's API endpoint. Which is in general at localhost:8080 see https://dgraph.io/docs/deploy/ports-usage/#ports-used-by-different-nodes

The ACL username/password should simply vanish and it could also be determined by asking the server what the state of affairs is e.g. ACL is enabled. IMHO the current UI is horrible. from @WolfgangFahl

Yeah, I know that is confusing sometimes. I have created this issue here #5234 to address this. Now that it is implemented we can do something about it. My idea was that Ratel would make it "disabled" visually.

But, you don't need to use ACL or login to it. You can use the "connect" button and after you see 3 greens you can close the box.

PS. BTW, all issues on Github aren't being monitored. You should start topics/questions/issues at https://discuss.dgraph.io/

Thanks for the suggestion @MichelDiz and @DarkBlaez.

• We'll implement the ability to remove your recent clusters
• We'll also move ACLs away from the default view. In case you try to connect and it fails, we can open up the ACL tab there.
• Also, fix the continue button behavior so that it automatically connects

The default password is not 'password'.
