| | #REDIRECT [[Postgresql]] |
| PostgreSQL is a well known opensource database that scales well and is easy to use. in Alpine v3.20 we can install the latest version using the package postgresql16
| |
| | |
| = Install =
| |
| {{Cmd|apk add postgresql16 postgresql16-contrib postgresql16-openrc}}
| |
| {{Cmd|rc-update add postgresql}}
| |
| {{Cmd|rc-service postgresql start}}
| |
| | |
| This will start the postgresql 16 server and perform some initial configuration.
| |
| | |
| = Configure =
| |
| login as the postgres user and start psql to create a new user and database:
| |
| {{Cmd|su postgres}}
| |
| {{Cmd|psql}}
| |
| {{Cmd|create user myuser with encrypted password 'mypass';}}
| |
| {{Cmd|create database mydb;}}
| |
| {{Cmd|grant all privileges on database mydb to myuser;}}
| |
| | |
| = Use =
| |
| By default only local access is allowed to PostgreSQL. to allow other networked services to access the database we need to configure PostgreSQL to allow external connections.
| |
| | |
| == modify the postgresql.conf file ==
| |
| {{Cmd|nano /etc/postgresql16/postgresql.conf}}
| |
| Find the line that starts with <pre>#listen_addresses = 'localhost'</pre>
| |
| Uncomment it and change it to the following:
| |
| <pre>listen_addresses = '*'</pre>
| |
| If you want it to listen on a specific ip you can change * to 192.168.1.2/24.
| |
| Save the file and change the next config file.
| |
| | |
| == modify the pg_hba.conf file ==
| |
| {{Cmd|nano /etc/postgresql16/pg_hba.conf}}
| |
| look for the line: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
| |
| and change it to: host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
| |
| This line allows connections from any IP address and requires a password for authentication (md5).
