Shared PostgreSQL
This directory contains the shared PostgreSQL 17 deployment for Authentik, Gitea, NetBox, Netronome, 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) |
| 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.
