PostgreSQL Development Profile

GovOPlaN development now defaults to PostgreSQL:

postgresql+psycopg://govoplan_dev@127.0.0.1:5432/govoplan_dev

The matching pg-tools URL for psql, pg_dump, and pg_restore is:

postgresql://govoplan_dev@127.0.0.1:5432/govoplan_dev

Store the password in ~/.pgpass instead of committing it to a .env file. The devserver and govoplan/tools/launch/launch-dev.sh honor an explicit DATABASE_URL if you need a different database.

Host PostgreSQL Setup

Create the default local role and database from a host shell:

export GOVOPLAN_PG_DB=govoplan_dev
export GOVOPLAN_PG_USER=govoplan_dev
read -rsp "Password for ${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}: " GOVOPLAN_PG_PASSWORD
echo

if ! sudo -u postgres psql -tAc "SELECT 1 FROM pg_roles WHERE rolname='${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}'" | grep -q 1; then
  sudo -u postgres createuser --pwprompt "${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}"
else
  sudo -u postgres psql -c "\\password ${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}"
fi

if ! sudo -u postgres psql -tAc "SELECT 1 FROM pg_database WHERE datname='${GOVOPLAN_PG_DB}'" | grep -q 1; then
  sudo -u postgres createdb -O "${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}" "${GOVOPLAN_PG_DB}"
fi

sudo -u postgres psql -d "${GOVOPLAN_PG_DB}" -c "ALTER SCHEMA public OWNER TO ${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER};"

touch ~/.pgpass
chmod 600 ~/.pgpass
grep -v "^127.0.0.1:5432:${GOVOPLAN_PG_DB}:${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}:" ~/.pgpass > ~/.pgpass.tmp || true
printf '127.0.0.1:5432:%s:%s:%s\n' "$GOVOPLAN_PG_DB" "$GOVOPLAN_PG_USER" "$GOVOPLAN_PG_PASSWORD" >> ~/.pgpass.tmp
mv ~/.pgpass.tmp ~/.pgpass
chmod 600 ~/.pgpass

Check access:

psql "postgresql://${GOVOPLAN_PG_USER}@127.0.0.1:5432/${GOVOPLAN_PG_DB}" \
  -c 'select current_user, current_database();'

When running through the VS Codium Flatpak sandbox, host PostgreSQL tools are available through:

flatpak-spawn --host /usr/bin/psql --version
flatpak-spawn --host /usr/bin/pg_dump --version
flatpak-spawn --host /usr/bin/pg_restore --version

Run GovOPlaN Against Host PostgreSQL

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan
./.venv/bin/python -m govoplan_core.commands.init_db \
  --database-url postgresql+psycopg://govoplan_dev@127.0.0.1:5432/govoplan_dev \
  --with-dev-data

./.venv/bin/python -m govoplan_core.devserver --smoke --no-reload

For the full backend and WebUI launcher:

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan
tools/launch/launch-dev.sh

To force the old SQLite fallback for a disposable local run:

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan
GOVOPLAN_DEV_DATABASE_BACKEND=sqlite tools/launch/launch-dev.sh

Disposable Docker Testbed

This testbed is for migration and module-permutation checks. It is not a production deployment profile.

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan/dev/postgres
cp .env.example .env
docker compose --env-file .env up -d

Run the integration check from the meta checkout:

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan
set -a
. dev/postgres/.env
set +a
tools/checks/postgres-integration-check.py \
  --database-url "$GOVOPLAN_POSTGRES_DATABASE_URL" \
  --reset-schema

--reset-schema drops and recreates the public schema before every module set. Use it only against this disposable database.

Stop the testbed:

cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan/dev/postgres
docker compose --env-file .env down

Remove all test data:

docker compose --env-file .env down -v
