UI Bakery's Postgres is a hosted data source and structure management tool provided by UI Bakery. Follow on the available features.

Default configuration

If your instance update is handled by the , a new Docker container will automatically be created in your installation. You will not need to make any additional configurations to access UI Bakery Postgres.

Custom configuration

When you update manually, add these container details to your Docker Compose file and restart the container:

  • Add new container configuration

  • Restart UI Bakery

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Standalone Postgres instance

It is also possible to connect to a completely standalone Postgres instance.

  • First, set up the Postgres instance of your choice. UI Bakery supports Postgres v16+.

  • Setup default database and a user to connect to the server from UI Bakery:

CREATE DATABASE bakery;
CREATE ROLE bakery WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'SECURE_PASSWORD';
ALTER ROLE bakery CREATEDB CREATEROLE;

# remove unnecessary default permissions
REVOKE TEMPORARY, CONNECT ON DATABASE bakery FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE TEMPORARY, CONNECT ON DATABASE postgres FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE TEMPORARY, CONNECT ON DATABASE template1 FROM PUBLIC;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE bakery TO bakery;

The provided configuration is default and should be used cautiously. It is not intended as a security recommendation.

  • Allow connection to the Postgres server from UI Bakery using the pg_hba.conf file.

  • Finally, provide the following env variables for UI Bakery to connect to the database:

# data source container host
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_SERVICE_URL=http://datasource:6060/bakeryDatabase
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_HOST=Postgres host
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_PORT=Postgres port
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_USERNAME=bakery
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_PASSWORD=SECURE_PASSWORD # change to your password
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_DATABASE=bakery
UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_SYNC_SIZE_INTERVAL=0 # not needed for on-prem instances

Disable UI Bakery Postgres

If you prefer not to use the editor and database features in your instance, you can disable these functionalities with the following environment variable:

UI_BAKERY_INTERNAL_DATABASE_ENABLED=false
