MotherDuck

How to configure credentials in Rill​

How you configure access to MotherDuck depends on whether you are developing a project locally using rill start or are setting up a deployment using rill deploy.

Configure credentials for local development​

When developing a project locally, you need to set motherduck_token in your environment variables. An example of using this syntax in terminal:

export motherduck_token='<token>'

You can also add this line to your bash profile.

Refer to MotherDuck docs for more information on authenticating with token.

Configure credentials for deployments on Rill Cloud​

Once a project having a MotherDuck source has been deployed using rill deploy, Rill requires you to explicitly provide the motherduck token using following command:

rill env configure

Note that you must cd into the Git repository that your project was deployed from before running rill env configure.
