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