1. Create a PostgreSQL deployment. Coder does not manage a database server for

you.

-If you're in a public cloud such as

[Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/),

[AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/),

[Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/), or

[DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/managed-databases-postgresql),

you can use the managed PostgreSQL offerings they provide. Make sure that

the PostgreSQL service is running and accessible from your cluster. It

should be in the same network, same project, etc.

-You can install Postgres manually on your cluster using the

[Bitnami PostgreSQL Helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/postgresql#readme). There are some

[helpful guides](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/postgresql-kubernetes) on the

internet that explain sensible configurations for this chart. Example:

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

helm install coder-db bitnami/postgresql \

--namespace coder \

--set auth.username=coder \

--set auth.password=coder \

--set auth.database=coder \

--set persistence.size=10Gi

```

The cluster-internal DB URLfor the above database is:

```

postgres://coder:coder@postgres-postgresql.coder.svc.cluster.local:5432/coder?sslmode=disable

```

> Ensure youset up periodic backups so you don't lose data.

You can use

[Postgres operator](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator) to

manage PostgreSQL deployments on your Kubernetes cluster.
