Linux
Installation Guide - Linux
- A linux server with at least 8GB memory (ubuntu 20.04 is recommended).
- Java 8
- Nginx web server.
- Port needs to be opened. (80, 8761,8081,8083. Only 80 port need to be opened if you setup the nginx reverse proxy as mentioned in the below)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx -y
sudo apt-get install default-jre -y
CentOS
create a directory :
# it must be created start with root path
sudo mkdir -p /wings/sqlflow
upload your zip file including backend and frontend file to
sqlflow
folder, and unzip like this :unzip sqlflow.zip
You should get files organized like this:
/wings/

set folder permissions :
sudo chmod -R 755 /wings/sqlflow
1. Config Nginx
open your nginx configuration file ( at
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
under ubuntu ), add a server :server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /wings/sqlflow/frontend/;
index index.html;
location ~* ^/index.html {
add_header X-Frame-Options deny; # remove this line if you want embed sqlflow in iframe
add_header Cache-Control no-store;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/;
proxy_connect_timeout 600s ;
proxy_read_timeout 600s;
proxy_send_timeout 600s;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header User-Agent $http_user_agent;
}
}
note that
8081
in proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/
should be consistent to gspLive.jar's port./api
is mapped to http://127.0.0.1:8081
in the above configration. This is useful if you company doesn't allow access 8081
port from the external.2. modify frontend configuration file config.private.json
- Open the configration file "/wings/sqlflow/frontend/config.private.json"
- Modify the ApiPrefix attribute
"ApiPrefix": "/api"
If you don't want to change the default service port you can just ignore this section. Otherwise this section will show you how to customize the port.
- 1.Web port is
80
- 2.SQLFlow backend service port:
File | Port |
---|---|
eureka.jar | 8761 |
gspLive.jar | 8081 |
sqlservice.jar | 8083 |
Change the default web port from
80
to 9000
(or any port you like).
Change the default gspLive port from
8081
to 9001
(or any port you like). - Change the port in nginx config file

- Change the port in gspLive.sh(gspLive.bat)

start service in background:
sudo /wings/sqlflow/backend/bin/backend.sh
please allow 3-5 minutes to start the service.
use
ps -ef|grep java
to check those 3 processing are running.ubuntu 11047 1 0 Nov02 ? 00:04:44 java -server -jar eureka.jar
ubuntu 11076 1 0 Nov02 ? 00:04:11 java -server -Xmn512m -Xms2g -Xmx2g -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies= -jar sqlservice.jar
ubuntu 11114 1 0 Nov02 ? 00:05:17 java -server -jar gspLive.jar
start your nginx :
sudo service nginx start
or reload :
sudo nginx -s reload
open http://yourdomain.com/ to see the SQLFlow.
open http://yourdomain.com/api/gspLive_backend/doc.html?lang=en to see the Restful API documention. OR
open http://yourdomain.com:8081/gspLive_backend/doc.html?lang=en to see the Restful API documention.
If this is the first time you setup the Gudu SQLFlow on a new machine, then, you will see this license UI:

- 1.You send us the Gudu SQLFlow Id (6 characters in red).
- 2.We will generate a license file for you based on this id.
- 3.You upload the license file by click the "upload license file" link.
sqlflow provides several optioins to control the service analysis logic. Open the sqlservice configuration file(conf/gudu_sqlflow.conf)
- relation_limit: default value is 1000. When the count of selected object relations is greater than relation_limit, sqlflow will fallback to the simple mode, ignore all the record sets. If the relations of simple mode are still greater than relation_limit, sqlflow will only show the summary information.
- big_sql_size: default value is 4096. If the sql length is greater than big_sql_size, sqlflow submit the sql in the work queue and execute it. If the work queue is full, sqlflow throws an exception and return error message "Sorry, the service is busy. Please try again later."
- 1.Get userId from gudu_sqlflow.conf
- Open the configration file "/wings/sqlflow/backend/conf/gudu_sqlflow.conf"
- The value of anonymous_user_id field is webapi userId
anonymous_user_id=xxx
- Note: on-promise mode, webapi call doesn't need the token parameter
- 1.Test webapi by curl
- test sql:
select name from user- curl command:
curl -X POST "http://yourdomain.com/api/gspLive_backend/sqlflow/generation/sqlflow" -H "accept:application/json;charset=utf-8" -F "userId=YOUR USER ID HERE" -F "dbvendor=dbvoracle" -F "sqltext=select name from user"- response:
{"code": 200,"data": {"dbvendor": "dbvoracle","dbobjs": [...],"relations": [...]},"sessionId": ...}- If the code returns 401, please check the userId is set or the userId is valid.
If you need to enable regular job feature on your sqlflow on-premiser, you will also need to install Clickhouse on your server. Check here for Clickhouse installation:
