# FoundationDB storage backend
|
|
|
|
Extra steps are required to produce a Vault build containing the FoundationDB
|
|
backend; attempts to use the backend on a build produced without following
|
|
this procedure will fail with a descriptive error message at runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Go bindings
|
|
|
|
### Picking a version
|
|
|
|
The version of the Go bindings and the FoundationDB client library used to
|
|
build them must match.
|
|
|
|
This version will determine the minimum API version that can be used, hence
|
|
it should be no higher than the version of FoundationDB used in your cluster,
|
|
and must also satisfy the requirements of the backend code.
|
|
|
|
The minimum required API version for the FoundationDB backend is 520.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Mono installed (core is enough), then install the
|
|
Go bindings using the `fdb-go-install.sh` script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ physical/foundationdb/fdb-go-install.sh install --fdbver x.y.z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, if `--fdbver x.y.z` is not specified, version 5.2.4 will be used.
|
|
|
|
## Building Vault
|
|
|
|
To build Vault the FoundationDB backend, add FDB_ENABLED=1 when invoking
|
|
`make`, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make dev FDB_ENABLED=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
Similarly, add FDB_ENABLED=1 to your `make` invocation when running tests,
|
|
e.g.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make test TEST=./physical/foundationdb FDB_ENABLED=1
|
|
```
