Gitpod credits relational databases

Hello,

I am currently working on the relational database projects but my git pod credits have ran out. Is freeCodeCamp working on a way for users to do the courses and save progress without relying on gitpod credits?

I have tried doing it locally but i am facing a lot of issues with it. Even if i stay on the same CodeRoad project, if i press resume after opening CodeRoad again, all the files disappear and i can’t use the psql command to log back into my databases for some reason.

Running out of Gitpod credits can be frustrating! Have you tried setting up PostgreSQL locally with Docker? It might help with persistence issues. Also, checking if freeCodeCamp has an alternative could be useful!

You should login the database again if you resume, the same for the coderoad tab. You can open the database entering ‘psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=postgres’.
And for the coderoad, you should click the hamburger button, then view, then command pelette, and then find ‘coderoad: start’ button. If you click it, the coderoad tab will open.

thanks man, i think that will work if i do it in one go then save the .sql into another repo.

yes, but there isn’t a when yet

You can follow this article to work locally:

I did finish the project locally and saved the 3 needed files in another GitHub repo. But when i tried submitting on freeCodeCamp it said my project is incomplete.

Here is my repo: GitHub - BikramATIP/worldcup_database

your local progress is not reflected on freeCodeCamp
to have progress reflected on freeCodeCamp you need to use Gitpod
