     5 ## Description

     6 

     7 This is a metadata storage plugin for the Thingfish digital asset

     8 manager.  It provides persistent storage for uploaded data to a

     9 PostgreSQL table.

    10 

    11 It is heavily based on the regular PG metastore, however it differs by

    12 storing objects as nodes, and their relations as edges.

    24 

    25 

    26 ##  Usage

    27 

    28 As with Thingfish itself, this plugin uses

    29 Configurability[https://rubygems.org/gems/configurability] to modify

    30 default behaviors.

    31 

    32 Here's an example configuration file that enables this plugin.

    33 

    34         ---

    35         thingfish:

    36           metastore: pggraph

    37 

    38         pggraph_metastore:

    39           uri: postgres://thingfish:password@db.example.com/database

    40 

    41 

    42 When Thingfish starts, it will install the necessary database schema

    43 automatically.
