Examples

​

Create a new Database using a specific type

You can specify the type using the --type option. This parameter defaults to postgresql, but you can use any of Aptible’s Supported Databases.

For example, to create a Redis database:

aptible db:create --type redis

​

Create a new Database using a specific version

Use the --version flag in combination with --type to use a specific version:

aptible db:create --type postgresql --version 9.6

📘 Use the aptible db:versions command to identify available versions.

​

Create a new Database with a custom Disk Size

aptible db:create --disk-size 20 "$DB_HANDLE"

​

Create a new Database with a custom Container Size

aptible db:create --container-size 2048 "$DB_HANDLE"
