Postgres Flake Template
This is a template for constructing a working environment for local
Postgres (version 15.5) usage. direnv
can be used to a launch a dev shell upon entering this directory (refer to
.envrc
). Otherwise run via:
$> nix develop
Quickstart
To begin, create a new database:
pg_ctl initdb
If the flake's default devShell
is loaded, this will create a database cluster
at $PWD/data
. To start the database, run the following:
pg_ctl start -o --unix_socket_directories="$PGDATA"
To shut the database down, run:
pg_ctl stop
You can also specify a different location for the database cluster using the
-D
option in each of the above commands.
