README

PostgreSQL

Description

This Ansible role deploys and configures a PostgreSQL database in a Docker container using Docker Compose. It is designed to simplify database administration by automating the creation of networks, containers, and essential database tasks (such as database and user creation) for a secure and high-performance environment.

Overview

Built for environments that demand reliability and ease of management, this role:

  • Sets up a dedicated Docker network for PostgreSQL.

  • Deploys a PostgreSQL container with secure configurations and automated healthchecks.

  • Automates tasks like database creation, user setup, and privilege assignments to streamline your workflows.

Cosmos

The diagram places PostgreSQL in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role’s deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to provide an effortless way to deploy a PostgreSQL database via Docker. It minimizes manual interventions while ensuring that your database is configured securely and reliably for both production and development scenarios.

Features

  • Automated Deployment: Installs PostgreSQL with minimal manual steps.

  • Robust Administration: Automatically creates databases, users, and assigns privileges.

  • Enhanced Security: The service is bound to 127.0.0.1:5432, restricting access and enhancing security.

  • Seamless Docker Integration: Works harmoniously with Docker Compose and other roles in your infrastructure.

Quick Setup

Development

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy PostgreSQL onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=svc-db-postgres full_cycle=false

Production

Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy PostgreSQL to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):

APP=svc-db-postgres
HOST=<your-server>
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"

docker run --rm -it \
  -v "$PWD/inventories:/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories" \
  -e APP="$APP" -e HOST="$HOST" -e DOMAIN="$DOMAIN" -e TLS_MODE="$TLS_MODE" -e SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" \
  ghcr.io/infinito-nexus/core/debian bash -c '
    INVENTORY=/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/production
    infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
      --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --host "$HOST" \
      --include "$APP" \
      --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}" &&
    infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
      --diff -vv'
