@kapa.ai on Airbyte 1.6.2 via kubectl & abctl, how can I get the URL of the Airbyte database ?

The knowledge sources don't provide a direct command to retrieve the Airbyte internal database URL from a running instance. However, here's what is documented that can help you find it: Using kubectl to inspect the database configuration Since

abctl

installs Airbyte into a

kind

cluster, you can use

kubectl

with the correct kubeconfig to inspect the pods and their environment variables. The database URL follows the pattern

jdbc:postgresql://<host>:<port>/<database>

and is exposed via the

DATABASE_URL

(and optionally

CONFIG_DATABASE_URL

) environment variables. [Configuring Airbyte] You can inspect the environment of a running pod (e.g., the server pod) with:

kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig \
  --namespace airbyte-abctl \
  get pods

Then, to see the environment variables (including the DB URL) of a specific pod:

kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig \
  --namespace airbyte-abctl \
  exec <pod-name> -- env | grep DATABASE

This should surface variables like: •

DATABASE_URL

— the Jobs Database JDBC URL •

CONFIG_DATABASE_URL

— the Configs Database JDBC URL (defaults to

DATABASE_URL

if not set) [Troubleshooting abctl] > Note: The knowledge sources do not explicitly document a single dedicated command (e.g.,

abctl local db-url

) to retrieve the database URL directly. The approach above using

kubectl

is the documented way to interact with the underlying infrastructure of an

abctl
