Postgres
PostgreSQL is the database backend for Gitea. It runs on the same podman network as Gitea and holds the repository metadata, users, and issue data.
Host: Dankclaw — Docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs
Facts
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Image | docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine |
| Port | 5432 (internal only) |
| Data volume | /home/dank/Containers/gitea/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data (live bind, verified from the unit) |
Configuration
services:
postgres:
image: docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: gitea
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "${GITEA_DB_PASSWORD}"
POSTGRES_DB: gitea
volumes:
- /opt/gitea/data/gitea-postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
Gitea Connection
Gitea reaches the database over the systemd-gitea network (quadlet-managed live, compose-managed after the full-stack deploy):
environment:
DATABASE_TYPE: postgres
DATABASE_HOST: gitea-postgres
DATABASE_NAME: gitea
DATABASE_USER: gitea
DATABASE_PASSWD: "${GITEA_DB_PASSWORD}"
The live app.ini on the host overrides env vars. When you rename the database container, update its [database] HOST line. See Gitea Gotchas.
Layout (current)
The live gitea-postgres unit mounts its data at
/home/dank/Containers/gitea/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data — the old
/opt/gitea/data/gitea-postgres compose-era path is gone. Secrets come from
the host-local env file /home/dank/Containers/gitea/env (0600) via
EnvironmentFile=; POSTGRES_PASSWORD never enters this repo. See Gitea.
Healthcheck
Use pg_isready:
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U gitea"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
Gotchas
- The database password must match between the
postgresservice and Gitea'sDATABASE_PASSWD; both come from the same.envvariable. - Do not change the Gitea
SECRET_KEYorINTERNAL_TOKENafter migration — encrypted data becomes unreadable. - Back up with
pg_dump; see Gitea (knowledge base).
