This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start TimescaleDB, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

  • All the top plugins included, such as PostGIS, PgVector, and many more.
  • Convenient access to the PgAdmin web interface for straightforward database management.
  • Simple, one-click updates to keep your deployment up to date.
  • Reliable performance and enhanced security on your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.

# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx

# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if necessary)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
  --service=svc-xxxxxx \
  --configuration='{ "...": "..." }'

# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx

That is it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated manner. To explore further, refer to the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
