To enable PostgreSQL, add the following to your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.enable"/> = true;
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.package"/> = pkgs.postgresql_11;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Note that you are required to specify the desired version of PostgreSQL (e.g. <literal>pkgs.postgresql_11</literal>). Since upgrading your PostgreSQL version requires a database dump and reload (see below), NixOS cannot provide a default value for <xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.package"/> such as the most recent release of PostgreSQL.

By default, PostgreSQL stores its databases in <filename>/var/lib/postgresql/$psqlSchema</filename>. You can override this using <xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.dataDir"/>, e.g.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.dataDir"/> = "/data/postgresql";

Major PostgreSQL upgrade requires PostgreSQL downtime and a few imperative steps to be called. To simplify this process, use the following NixOS module:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
containers.temp-pg.config.services.postgresql = {
|
|
enable = true;
|
|
package = pkgs.postgresql_12;
|
|
## set a custom new dataDir
|
|
# dataDir = "/some/data/dir";
|
|
};
|
|
environment.systemPackages =
|
|
let newpg = config.containers.temp-pg.config.services.postgresql;
|
|
in [
|
|
(pkgs.writeScriptBin "upgrade-pg-cluster" ''
|
|
set -x
|
|
export OLDDATA="${config.services.postgresql.dataDir}"
|
|
export NEWDATA="${newpg.dataDir}"
|
|
export OLDBIN="${config.services.postgresql.package}/bin"
|
|
export NEWBIN="${newpg.package}/bin"
|
|
|
|
install -d -m 0700 -o postgres -g postgres "$NEWDATA"
|
|
cd "$NEWDATA"
|
|
sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/initdb -D "$NEWDATA"
|
|
|
|
systemctl stop postgresql # old one
|
|
|
|
sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/pg_upgrade \
|
|
--old-datadir "$OLDDATA" --new-datadir "$NEWDATA" \
|
|
--old-bindir $OLDBIN --new-bindir $NEWBIN \

To add plugins via NixOS configuration, set <literal>services.postgresql.extraPlugins</literal>:

<programlisting>
|

<xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.package"/> = pkgs.postgresql_11;
|

<xref linkend="opt-services.postgresql.extraPlugins"/> = with pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs; [

You can build custom PostgreSQL-with-plugins (to be used outside of NixOS) using function <literal>.withPackages</literal>. For example, creating a custom PostgreSQL package in an overlay can look like:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
self: super: {
|
|
postgresql_custom = self.postgresql_11.withPackages (ps: [
|
|
ps.pg_repack
|
|
ps.postgis
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>

Here's a recipe on how to override a particular plugin through an overlay:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
self: super: {
|
|
postgresql_11 = super.postgresql_11.override { this = self.postgresql_11; } // {
|
|
pkgs = super.postgresql_11.pkgs // {
|
|
pg_repack = super.postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_repack.overrideAttrs (_: {
|
|
name = "pg_repack-v20181024";
|
|
src = self.fetchzip {

url = "https://github.com/reorg/pg_repack/archive/923fa2f3c709a506e111cc963034bf2fd127aa00.tar.gz";
