Mechanical identity rename across the knowledge base, AGENTS.md, README, the
hermes config example, and homepage services.json. No behavior change; served

# 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
```yaml
services:
postgres:
image: docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: gitea
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "${GITEA_DB_PASSWORD}"
POSTGRES_DB: gitea
volumes:
- /opt/gitea/data/gitea-postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
```
## Gitea Connection
Gitea reaches the database over the `systemd-gitea` network (quadlet-managed live, compose-managed after the full-stack deploy):
```yaml
environment:
DATABASE_TYPE: postgres
DATABASE_HOST: gitea-postgres
DATABASE_NAME: gitea
DATABASE_USER: gitea
DATABASE_PASSWD: "${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`:
```yaml
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U gitea"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
```
## Gotchas
- The database password must match between the `postgres` service and Gitea's `DATABASE_PASSWD`; both come from the same `.env` variable.
- Do not change the Gitea `SECRET_KEY` or `INTERNAL_TOKEN` after migration — encrypted data becomes unreadable.
- Back up with `pg_dump`; see [[Gitea]] (knowledge base).
