In Datajoint, you are prompted for username and password. I am creating a readthedocs website with Sphinx and I need the system to not prompt for username and password. How can I turn it off?

Thanks for asking this question! There are basically three ways to do this:

  • dj.config.save_local(): This will save the entire dj.config as json on your project level
  • dj.config.save_global(): This will save is on a system level
  • System Variables DJ_HOST, DJ_USER, and DJ_PASS: Can be set for once like export in terminal or permanently in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zsh_profile for linux/mac or in your system settings/environment variable settings for windows

Please check DataJoint Documentation for more details

    Example `dj_local_conf.json`: https://github.com/datajoint/workflow-deeplabcut/blob/main/dj_example_local_conf.json Example saving auto-generation: https://github.com/datajoint/workflow-deeplabcut/blob/main/notebooks/01-Configure.ipynb – Chris Broz May 09 '22 at 18:08

DataJoint asks for database credentials only when they are not already provided in the settings dictionary dj.config. These values can be set programmatically, loaded from a configuration file, or loaded from environment variables. These settings are described in the documentation: https://docs.datajoint.org/python/setup/01-Install-and-Connect.html

  • Yes, but I am trying to run unit test and I don't want to authenticate to a server. – Phil Jun 16 '22 at 23:02
