PostgreSQL

Runs PostgreSQL 18 in Docker on port 5432 (changeable). By default the port is bound to 127.0.0.1, so only programs on this server reach it. With 'Open to the internet' the port is published on all addresses and Docker bypasses the ufw firewall for it, so limit the source addresses yourself. About 256 MB of RAM. The password is generated and kept in a root-only file.

What you will be asked

You fill these in during setup.

PostgreSQL port port RequiredAdvanced settings
The port the postgresql port listens on. The default is fine unless another service already uses it.
Database name Required
The database created on the first start, lowercase letters, digits and underscores. Changing it later does not rename an existing database.
Database user Required
The user created on the first start; it owns the database. Changing it later does not rename an existing user.
Open to the internet RequiredAdvanced settings
When true, the port is reachable from any address, protected only by the generated password, and Docker bypasses the ufw firewall for it. Leave false unless a remote program must connect.
