PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system with over 35 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.

Getting Started

# In `perSystem.process-compose.<name>`
{
  services.postgres."pg1".enable = true;
}

Examples

• Run postgres server initialised with a sample database and graphically interact with it using pgweb: https://github.com/juspay/services-flake/tree/main/example/simple

Gotchas

Unix-domain socket path is too long

We already talk about this in the data directory guide. In case of postgres, you can set socketDir while keeping the dataDir unchanged.

{
  services.postgres."pg1" = {
    enable = true;
    socketDir = "/tmp/pg1";
  };
}
