|
|
|
<para>To enable PostgreSQL, add the following to your
|
|
<filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
services.postgresql.enable = true;
|
|
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql94;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
Note that you are required to specify the desired version of
|
|
PostgreSQL (e.g. <literal>pkgs.postgresql94</literal>). Since
|
|
upgrading your PostgreSQL version requires a database dump and reload
|
|
(see below), NixOS cannot provide a default value for
|
|
<option>services.postgresql.package</option> such as the most recent
|
|
release of PostgreSQL.</para>
|
|
|
|
<!--
|
|
<para>After running <command>nixos-rebuild</command>, you can verify
|
|
whether PostgreSQL works by running <command>psql</command>:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
$ psql
|
|
psql (9.2.9)
|
|
Type "help" for help.

|
|
|
<para>By default, PostgreSQL stores its databases in
|
|
<filename>/var/db/postgresql</filename>. You can override this using
|
|
<option>services.postgresql.dataDir</option>, e.g.
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
services.postgresql.dataDir = "/data/postgresql";
|
|
</programlisting>
