TimescaleDB. PostgreSQL that is good at time.
PostgreSQL with an extension that partitions tables by time and compresses old data. Every Postgres client and query works — it is the same database, better at one shape of question. Its credentials are generated and kept as secrets. Daily backups into one of your buckets, with restore.

/the-engine
TimescaleDB, described once. Nothing to guess.
PostgreSQL that is good at time.
Credentials
Generated, typed by you, or one of your shared secrets — kept encrypted as a secret, the password masked wherever it is shown.
Backups
A dump taken inside the running database, on a plan you choose, into your own bucket — or a copy of its folders.
Restores from
- A pg_dump file in custom format (pg_dump --format=custom) — what a dump here makes
- Plain SQL — from pg_dump, or any .sql file
- Plain SQL, gzip-compressed
| Variable | What it is |
|---|---|
POSTGRES_USER | The user your applications connect as. It owns the database. |
POSTGRES_PASSWORD | That user’s password. Kept as a secret. |
POSTGRES_DB | The database created on first start. |
PGDATA | Where the files go: a folder inside the volume, so the volume’s own root is never the data directory. |
POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGSoptional | Extra arguments for initdb when the database is first created. |
TZoptional | The time zone the server reports times in. |
NO_TS_TUNEoptional | Skip tuning its settings to the memory and CPUs it finds on first start. |
