Wrap db-tool, postgres-init, postgres-cleanup with lib.makeOverridable so
consumers can inject extension-enabled PostgreSQL via .override { postgresql = ...; }.
Add PG_CONF_FILE: when set, replaces script-generated postgresql.conf entirely
(runtime port and unix_socket_directories still appended/overridden).

# db-tool
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL development database management tool. Drop-in replacement for per-project database.sh / postgres-init.sh / postgres-cleanup.sh scripts. Provides database, postgres-init, and postgres-cleanup binaries.
|
|
|
|
## Provided Binaries
|
|
|
|
| Binary | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `database` | Main script for managing migrations, deployments, and logs. |
|
|
| `postgres-init` | Ephemeral PostgreSQL cluster initialization and startup. |
|
|
| `postgres-cleanup` | Graceful shutdown and cleanup of the PostgreSQL cluster. |
|
|
|
|
## Required Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
These variables must be set for `db-tool` to function.
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `LOCAL_DIR` | Absolute path to the project root directory. |
|
|
| `DB_URL` | Full PostgreSQL connection string (e.g., `postgresql://user@localhost/dbname?host=$PG_WORKING_DIR`). |
|
|
| `PG_WORKING_DIR` | Directory where the PostgreSQL cluster data and sockets are stored. |
|
|
|
|
## Optional Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default Value | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `DATABASE_DIR` | `${LOCAL_DIR}/db` | Root directory for database-related files. |
|
|
| `MIGRATION_DIR` | `${DATABASE_DIR}/migration` | Directory containing SQL migration files. |
|
|
| `DATABASE_SOURCE` | `${DATABASE_DIR}/src` | Directory containing source SQL files for hydration. |
|
|
| `PG_URL_VAR` | `PGURL` | The name of the environment variable where the computed PG URL will be exported. |
|
|
| `PG_LOG_PATH` | (unset) | Path to redirect PostgreSQL server logs. |
|
|
| `PG_CONF_FILE` | (unset) | Path to a `postgresql.conf` file. When set, replaces the script-generated config entirely on fresh init. `port` and `unix_socket_directories` are still appended at runtime (always overridden). When set, `PG_DISABLE_LOGGING` and `PG_SHARED_PRELOAD_LIBRARIES` are ignored. |
|
|
| `PG_SHARED_PRELOAD_LIBRARIES` | `pg_cron` | Comma-separated `shared_preload_libraries` value. Set to empty string to disable. Ignored when `PG_CONF_FILE` is set. |
|
|
| `PG_DISABLE_LOGGING` | `0` | Set to `1` to disable PostgreSQL logging collector. Ignored when `PG_CONF_FILE` is set. |
|
|
| `PATCH_LOG` | (stdout) | Path to log the output of database patches. |
|
|
| `HYDRATE_LOG` | (stdout) | Path to log the output of database hydration. |
|
|
|
|
## Postgres Package Override
|
|
|
|
By default, `db-tool`/`postgres-init`/`postgres-cleanup` use plain `postgresql_17` from nixpkgs. If you need extensions (e.g. `pg_cron`), override the postgres package per-output:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
let
|
|
myPg = pkgs.postgresql_17.withJIT.withPackages (_: [
|
|
pkgs.postgresql_17.pkgs.pg_cron
|
|
]);
|
|
in {
|
|
packages = [
|
|
(pkgs.hectic."db-tool".override { postgresql = myPg; })
|
|
(pkgs.hectic."postgres-init".override { postgresql = myPg; })
|
|
(pkgs.hectic."postgres-cleanup".override { postgresql = myPg; })
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## pull_staging Contract
|
|
|
|
The `pull_staging` subcommand allows importing data from a remote staging environment into the local `test-data.sql` file. This functionality requires four specific environment variables to be defined:
|
|
|
|
1. `STAGING_SSH_HOST`: The SSH destination for the staging server.
|
|
2. `STAGING_DB_URL`: The PostgreSQL connection string for the remote staging database.
|
|
3. `STAGING_DUMP_TABLES`: A space-separated list of tables to include in the data dump.
|
|
4. `STAGING_DUMP_FLAGS`: Additional flags to pass to `pg_dump` (e.g., `--column-inserts`).
|
|
|
|
If any of these variables are missing when `pull_staging` is invoked, the tool will exit with code 3 and print the name of the missing variable to stderr.
|
|
|
|
## Subcommands
|
|
|
|
- `deploy`: Execute the full deployment flow (hydrate + patch). Supports `--cleanup` to teardown after success.
|
|
- `log`: Inspect database logs. Supports `list` and index-based selection.
|
|
- `test`: Execute database tests located in `${DATABASE_DIR}/test/test.sql`.
|
|
- `check`: Run a deployment validation in an isolated, temporary PostgreSQL cluster.
|
|
- `cleanup`: Stop the local database cluster and remove the `PG_WORKING_DIR`.
|
|
- `pull_staging`: Import data from the staging environment based on the env contract.
|
|
- `init`: Wrapper around `postgres-init` to start the cluster.
|
|
- `migrator`: Directly invoke the migration tool with the correct environment context.
|
|

|
## shellHook Example
|
|
|
|
To use `db-tool` in a Nix development shell, add the following to your `flake.nix` or `shell.nix`:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
# ...
|
|
devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
|
|
packages = [
|
|
pkgs.hectic.db-tool
|
|
pkgs.hectic.postgres-init
|
|
pkgs.hectic.postgres-cleanup
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
shellHook = ''
|
|
export LOCAL_DIR="$PWD"
|
|
export DATABASE_DIR="$LOCAL_DIR/db"
|
|
export MIGRATION_DIR="$DATABASE_DIR/migration"
|
|
export DATABASE_SOURCE="$DATABASE_DIR/src"
|
|
export PG_WORKING_DIR="$LOCAL_DIR/focus/postgresql"
|
|
export DB_URL="postgresql://user@localhost/dbname?host=$PG_WORKING_DIR&port=5432"
|
|
|
|
# for other non-db scripts (deploy.sh, task.sh, etc.):
|
|
export HECTIC_LIB="${pkgs.hectic.helpers.posix-shell.log}"
|
|
|
|
# Initialize and start the ephemeral database cluster
|
|
. ${pkgs.hectic.postgres-init}/bin/postgres-init
|
|
'';
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
