EdgeX microservices are not running even after setting EDGEX_SECURITY_SECRET_STORE=false

[vediyappan-villali]

Earlier, I was able to run the EdgeX microservices by making EDGEX_SECURITY_SECRET_STORE=false. But it is not working now. Should I do any other configuration changes.

Not sure about a non-consul setup, but at the moment I'm doing
docker run -p 8500:8500 consul
in one window, and then

declare -x EDGEX_SECURITY_SECRET_STORE=false
cd cmd/core-common-config-bootstrapper
./core-common-config-bootstrapper -cp -cf configuration.yaml
cd ../core-metadata
./core-metadata -cp

in another (the config bootstrapper only needs to be run once unless you clean out consul)

@iain-anderson Actually I am running the natively build EdgeX microservices in Linux environment (Ubuntu 22.04). Not using the docker and consul setup.

Same here, consul is the only thing I'm running in a container

Hello , did you find a solution please ? i have the same problem

[bnevis-i]

Here's where this code is failing:

https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/blob/main/internal/pkg/bootstrap/handlers/database.go#L91

and here is the line in configuration.toml that contains the secret name that the code is trying to get:

https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/blob/jakarta/cmd/core-data/res/configuration.toml#L46

Why is Databases.Primary.Type = ""? You might have to dive into the debugger to figure it out.

Hi @vediyappan-villali
are you still facing the same error? are you running redis before you run core-data ? as you will need to use redis. and also can you post your configuration.toml for core-data you are using so that I can help you out in a better way ?

[vediyappan-villali]

@dipshirajput Yes, I am running redis before running core-data as I need to use redis. I am using the configuration.toml file from repo without any changes. Link is as follows:
https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go/blob/main/cmd/core-data/res/configuration.toml

@vediyappan-villali , what version of EdgeX are you running.

Please note that the main branch is the development branch for EdgeX and it is not recommend to use unless you are part of the current development effort. This is very important during this release development cycle as there are many breaking changes occurring.
