# PostgreSQL Block {#blocks-postgresql}
Defined in [`/modules/blocks/postgresql.nix`](@REPO@/modules/blocks/postgresql.nix).
This block sets up a [PostgreSQL][] database.
[postgresql]: https://www.postgresql.org/
Compared to the upstream nixpkgs module, this module also sets up:
- Enabling TCP/IP login and also accepting password authentication from localhost with [`shb.postgresql.enableTCPIP`](#blocks-postgresql-options-shb.postgresql.enableTCPIP).
- Enhance the `ensure*` upstream option by setting up a database's password from a password file with [`shb.postgresql.ensures`](#blocks-postgresql-options-shb.postgresql.ensures).
- Debug logging with `auto_explain` and `pg_stat_statements` with [`shb.postgresql.debug`](#blocks-postgresql-options-shb.postgresql.debug).
## Usage {#blocks-postgresql-usage}
### Ensure User and Database {#blocks-postgresql-ensures}
Ensure a database and user exists:
```nix
shb.postgresql.ensures = [
{
username = "firefly-iii";
database = "firefly-iii";
}
];
```
Also set up the database password from a file path:
```nix
shb.postgresql.ensures = [
{
username = "firefly-iii";
database = "firefly-iii";
passwordFile = "/run/secrets/firefly-iii_db_password";
}
];
```
### Database Backup Requester Contracts {#blocks-postgresql-contract-databasebackup}
This block can be backed up using the [database backup](contracts-databasebackup.html) contract.
Contract integration tests are defined in [`/test/contracts/databasebackup.nix`](@REPO@/test/contracts/databasebackup.nix).
#### Backing up All Databases {#blocks-postgresql-contract-databasebackup-all}
```nix
{
my.backup.provider."postgresql" = {
request = config.shb.postgresql.databasebackup;
settings = {
// Specific options for the backup provider.
};
};
}
```
## Tests {#blocks-postgresql-tests}
Specific integration tests are defined in [`/test/blocks/postgresql.nix`](@REPO@/test/blocks/postgresql.nix).
