2.0 KiB

Shared PostgreSQL

This directory contains the shared PostgreSQL 17 deployment for Authentik, Gitea, NetBox, Netronome, Paperless-ngx, and Statuspage. It creates one database and one login role per service. Per-service standalone databases were removed after the migration (Sep 2026); Penpot stays on its own compose PostgreSQL (archived, not part of the shared instance).

Compatibility baseline

Service Current application Shared PostgreSQL 17
Authentik 2025.10.x Supported (Authentik requires 14+)
Gitea 1.27.3 Supported (Gitea requires 12+)
NetBox 4.7.x Supported (NetBox 4.x requires 13+)
Netronome 0.14.0 Supported (upstream's example uses 17)
Paperless-ngx 3.2.1 Supported
Statuspage custom Supported

A major-version change must use a logical dump/restore; changing only the image tag while keeping a data directory is not supported.

For Compose, copy .env.example to .env, set all passwords, and start it with docker compose -f shared-compose.yaml up -d. This file is intentionally not named compose.yaml, so the repository deploy workflow does not start a second database accidentally. Applications that use this database must also join that external network and use homelab-postgres:5432.

For Kubernetes, create k8s/secrets.yaml from the example before applying the manifests. The k8s/active marker makes the normal deploy workflow include the namespace, StatefulSet, ConfigMap, and NetworkPolicy. Applications use postgres.database.svc.cluster.local:5432. Migrate each existing database with a tested logical dump/restore before switching an application. Do not reuse a PostgreSQL 14 or 17 data directory with PostgreSQL 15.
