ln - sfv / usr / local / opt / postgresql /*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents Let’s talk about what each of these commands does so we understand why it runs automatically. If desired, the postgres server can be configured to launch as a deamon in the background every time the user signs in: ln - sfv / usr / local / opt / postgresql /*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ Automatically running the Postgres server as a daemon There are two ways to run the postgres server as a daemon on OSX, automatically and manually.
The best part is, we don’t need to have an extra terminal window open. The postgres server works great as a daemon, because it will keep running until told to stop or the computer is shut down. A daemon is a program that runs in the background, sometimes for long periods of time, that doesn’t interact with the user. This is why it is recommended to launch the postgres as a daemon. If for some reason the terminal closes or the connection to the terminal stops then the postgres server shuts down. The problem with running the postgres server in the foreground is it needs to be ran in a terminal - and the terminal needs to stay open. (Remember if you want to exit psql you can quit by typing \q and then enter or just press ctrl + d) In another terminal window we can now access the database with the psql command. The -D argument tells postgres where the database is. We can run the server in the foreground by using the postgres command: postgres - D / usr / local / var / postgres
In order to access a PostgreSQL database, the postgres server needs to be running.

plist file which contains some metadata about how to launch Postgres. usr/ local/ opt/ postgresql contains a. usr/ local/ var/ postgres is where the database and logs are stored
#POSTGRES OSX INSTALL#
This command will install Postgres into your /usr/local directory and adds the following directories: If you don’t have Homebrew installed or know what it does I suggest you, check it out. In addition, it discusses how to connect to the server with the psql command. It discusses how to launch the server in the foreground from the terminal or in the background as a daemon / agent. This article covers installation the postgres server on OSX. I'm using -p 8080:8000 here to set port 8080 on my laptop to forward to the Django application server running on port 8000 inside the container.Install and Run Postgres on OSX :: Jordan Majd ◄ ◆ Sunday, December 6, 2015Install and Run Postgres on OSX So ideally something like this should work: docker run -env \ The first thing to know is that Docker for Desktop sets as a magic hostname inside the container that refers back to the IP address of the host machine. In order to test those containers on my laptop, I needed to figure out a way to set a DATABASE_URL that would point to the PostgreSQL I have running on my own laptop - so that I didn't need to spin up another PostgreSQL Docker container just for testing purposes. When I deploy applications to Fly.io I build them as Docker containers and inject the Fly PostgreSQL database details as a DATABASE_URL environment variable. I use it for a bunch of different projects. I like using Postgres.app to run PostgreSQL on my macOS laptop.
