Deploy on a Local Machine

Before You Begin
This guide requires that you have created a Conduit project. If not, please refer to the first part of the Tutorial.
Overview
1.Create a local database.
2.Upload the application schema to the local database.
3.Add an OAuth 2.0 client.
4.Modify the configuration file.
5.Run the application.
Step 1: Create a Local Database
Create a database with the same name as your application and a user that can access that database. Run the following SQL locally with a user that has privileges to create databases.
CREATE DATABASE app_name;
CREATE USER app_name_user WITH CREATEDB;
ALTER USER app_name_user WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL ON DATABASE app_name TO app_name_user;
!!! warning "dart_test database" Do not use the name 'dart_test' for the database; this database is used by Conduit to run tests by default.
Step 2: Upload the Application Schema
If you have not yet created database migration files for your project, run the database schema generation tool from the project directory:
conduit db generate
This command creates the file migrations/00000001_initial.migration.dart. Now, run the database migration tool to execute the migration file against the local database. Ensure that the values for the option --connect match those of the database created in the last step.
conduit db upgrade --connect postgres://app_name_user:[email protected]:5432/app_name
(Note that you may provide database credentials in a file named database.yaml instead of using --connect. See conduit db --help for details.)
Step 3: Add an OAuth 2.0 client.
If you are using package:conduit/managed_auth, you'll want to create an OAuth2 client identifier. From the command line, run the following, ensuring that the values for the option --connect match the recently created database.
conduit auth add-client --id com.app_name.standard --secret abcdefghi --connect postgres://app_name_user:[email protected]:5432/app_name
Step 4: Modify the Configuration File
If config.yaml doesn't exist, create it by copying the configuration file template config.yaml.src.
In config.yaml, update the database credentials to the local database.
database:
 username: app_name_user
 password: yourpassword
 host: localhost
 port: 5432
 databaseName: app_name
Step 5: Run the Application
From the project directory, run:
conduit serve
Your application is now running. You may also run the generated start script in your project's bin directory:
dart bin/main.dart
If you restart the application, the data in your database will remain.
