to make it running is
- ``api_url``: Must be set to the URL which exposes the api endpoint as it
is reachable from the
worker. Typically this looks like
``https://your-hostname-and-port/edge_worker/v1/rpcapi``.
+The following setting is required on the **central Airflow instance** (not the
edge worker node)
+so that edge3 database tables (``edge_worker``, ``edge_job``, ``edge_logs``)
are created and
+migrated when running ``airflow db migrate``:
+
+- Section ``[database]``
+
+ - ``external_db_managers``: Must include
``airflow.providers.edge3.models.db.EdgeDBManager``.
+
+ .. code-block:: ini
+
+ [database]
+ external_db_managers = airflow.providers.edge3.models.db.EdgeDBManager
+
+ Or via environment variable:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ export
AIRFLOW__DATABASE__EXTERNAL_DB_MANAGERS="airflow.providers.edge3.models.db.EdgeDBManager"
+
+ .. note::
+
+ If you are also using ``FabAuthManager``, include both managers as a
comma-separated list:
+
+ .. code-block:: ini
+
+ [database]
+ external_db_managers =
airflow.providers.fab.auth_manager.models.db.FABDBManager,airflow.providers.edge3.models.db.EdgeDBManager
+
+After configuring ``external_db_managers``, run the following on the central
Airflow instance
+to apply the edge3 schema migrations:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ airflow db migrate
+
To kick off a worker, you need to setup Airflow and kick off the worker
subcommand
