@lanhild - i just saw you archived the git repository for the cloudron psql. is the code still usable/"up to date" or should i look elsewhere?

With Cloudron supporting custom apps soon, it would be nice to have this available somehow

It can be a full stack system all-in-one!

Why bother with other things when it all comes down to the DB.
Have it do it!

Does PocketBase fill that gap?

PocketBase is interesting, but I wouldn't reach for it first for core application state. Postgres is "boring technology" which is great for reliability, well-known, well-understood etc. That said, I'm sure PocketBase fills an important niche.

The tcp proxy solution if possible would be useful separately as it would allow us access to MySQL, Mongodb, Postgresql, Redis, etc. directly via proxying the respective cloudron app service.

There might be issues with this as I cannot think of another app example on cloudron that uses tcp without http on top so there may be some proxy stuff being done by cloudron itself before the connection makes it to the app that prevents this from working but it was on my list of things to try at some point.

I've made a very simple custom app to deploy a psql DB using the Cloudron addon @ https://github.com/Lanhild/postgresql-cloudron

import Koa from 'koa'
import cors from '@koa/cors'
import Router from '@koa/router'
import { koaBody } from 'koa-body'
import postgres from 'postgres'

var sql = postgres(process.env.CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_URL)

let app = new Koa()
let router = new Router()

app.use(cors());

router.get('/',(ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = "Health Check Success";
})
.get('/someurltogetdatafrom', async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = JSON.stringify((await sql`
    select somePostgresqlFunction( SomeParameterName => ${ctx.request.query.someparameternamefromquerystringparameter}) as SomeName
    ;
  `)[0].somename)
})

app
  .use(router.routes())
  .use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen(8234);

Do you mind sharing your custom application code? I'm very interested in that.

@Lanhild If you want direct access to a postgresql database for testing and DB analysis stuff then you can use a custom app with the postgresql feature enabled and girish's post here to connect pgadmin to that custom app's postgresql instance.

@girish I had the same need and was surprised that there's no option. So I Would really appreciate it! PostgreSQL /MySQL, MongoDB and REDIS would be perfect

also Elastic/OpenSearch

So much yes to all of this. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong because it MUST be there, right?! and then I read https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2630/lamp-stack-with-postgres and realise I don't understand enough, and give up. Which is sad.

So massive +100000 to this.

And another +1000000 from my side

So massive +100000 to this.
