This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start TimescaleDB, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use TimescaleDB cloud solution designed to help you get up and running in minutes. Here is what you can look forward to:

  • All the best plugins included, such as PostGIS, PgVector, and more.
  • Convenient access to the PgAdmin web UI for easy database management.
  • Simple, one-click updates to keep your deployment current.
  • Reliable performance and strong security on your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

If you are looking to save time and streamline your workflow, Stackhero's TimescaleDB cloud hosting is designed to make your experience as smooth as possible. You can try it out in as little as 5 minutes!

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 needed)
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 way. To dive deeper, check out the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
