# setup-postgres

This action sets up a PostgreSQL server for the rest of the job. Here are some
key features:
* Runs on Linux, macOS and Windows action runners.
* PostgreSQL version can be parametrized.
* Adds PostgreSQL [client applications][1] to `PATH`.
* Supports SSL on-demand.
* Easy [to verify][2] that it DOES NOT contain malicious code.

#### Inputs
| Key | Value | Default |
|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| username | The username of the user to setup. | `postgres` |
| password | The password of the user to setup. | `postgres` |
| database | The database name to setup and grant permissions to created user. | `postgres` |
| port | The server port to listen on. | `5432` |
| postgres-version | The PostgreSQL major version to install. Supported values: "14", "15", "16", "17". | `17` |
#### Outputs
| Key | Description | Example |
|------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| connection-uri | The connection URI to connect to PostgreSQL. | `postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres` |
| service-name | The service name with connection parameters. | `postgres` |
| certificate-path | The path to the server certificate if SSL is on. | `/home/runner/work/_temp/pgdata/server.crt` |
#### User permissions
| Key | Value |
|-------------|-------|
| usesuper | true |
| usecreatedb | true |
## Usage
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> In order to connect to a PostgreSQL server, either use connection parameters
> directly (see [basic] example), or, preferably, obtain a connection URI from
> the `connection-uri` output (see [recommended] example).
>
> [basic]: #basic
> [recommended]: #recommended
> [!TIP]
>
> For `libpq`-based applications, such as PostgreSQL client applications, set
> the `PGSERVICE=postgres` environment variable to automatically use the
> correct connection parameters (see [example]). The `postgres` value
> corresponds to the service name from the `service-name` output.

#### Basic
```yaml
steps:
- uses: ikalnytskyi/action-setup-postgres@v7
- run: psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql service=postgres -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql -c "SELECT 1"
env:
PGSERVICE: postgres
```
#### Recommended
```yaml
steps:
- uses: ikalnytskyi/action-setup-postgres@v7
id: postgres
- run: psql ${{ steps.postgres.outputs.connection-uri }} -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql service=${{ steps.postgres.outputs.service-name }} -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql -c "SELECT 1"
env:
PGSERVICE: ${{ steps.postgres.outputs.service-name }}
```
#### Parametrized
```yaml
steps:
- uses: ikalnytskyi/action-setup-postgres@v7
with:
username: ci
password: sw0rdfish
database: test
port: 34837
postgres-version: "14"
ssl: true
id: postgres
- run: psql ${{ steps.postgres.outputs.connection-uri }} -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql service=${{ steps.postgres.outputs.service-name }} -c "SELECT 1"
- run: psql -c "SELECT 1"
env:
PGSERVICE: ${{ steps.postgres.outputs.service-name }}
```
## FAQ
#### How do I create a new database with a new user?
```yaml
steps:
- uses: ikalnytskyi/action-setup-postgres@v7
id: postgres
- env:
PGSERVICE: "${{ steps.postgres.outputs.service-name }}"
run: |
createuser myuser
createdb --owner myuser mydatabase
psql -c "ALTER USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword'"
```
## Rationale
At the time of developing there were no GitHub Actions on the marketplace to
setup a PostgreSQL server on Linux, Windows and macOS action runners. Most
solutions suggest using Docker which is not available on macOS and Windows
runners.
