`database` will cause error

[geminiyellow]

i create a config file datasources.local.js

module.exports = {
  redis: {
    connector: "redis",
    database: "redisdb",
    host: process.env.REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR,
    port: process.env.REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT
  }
}

then i got a error:

/app/user$ node .

It will be retried for the next request.

then i remove database key, the error gone.

[geminiyellow]

seems the max index is 15, so there 16 DBs(0 - 15) can be used by default. how to config index in loopback?

[superkhau]

You can configure indexes via https://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/Model+definition+JSON+file#ModeldefinitionJSONfile-Indexes

Are you still running into issues? Can I close this? Or Can you provide a sample repo to reproduce the issue?

[superkhau]

Gonna close this as abandoned. @geminiyellow Feel free to ping if you're still running into this issue and we can reopen it then.
