Main Menu

1. Installation of PostGres and PostGIS

wget https://udayrage.github.io/scripts/postgres.sh
sh postgres.sh

2. Setting up password for the postgres user

sudo su - postgres
psql -c "alter user postgres with password 'StrongAdminP@ssw0rd'"   # change passwd
psql        # to verify
exit        # to come out of postgres

3. Remote connection settings

Execute the following command on the terminal

sudo vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/pg_hba.conf    

Below “# IPv4 local connections:” add the following

    host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
    #Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
    local all postgres md5  

Save the file and exit. Next, execute the following command.

sudo vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf

Set

listen_addresses = '*'      #Allows connection form any ipaddress

Save and exist

4. Testing the remote connection

Open the terminal in the jupyterHub and execute the below command to install psycopg2 library.

pip install psycopg2

Create a file testDBConnection.py, and copy paste the below code

import psycopg2
from psycopg2 import Error

try:
    # Connect to an existing database
    connection = psycopg2.connect(user="USER_NAME",      # Set your user name
                                  password="PASSWORD",   # Set your password
                                  host="IPADDRESS",      # Set ipaddress   
                                  port="5432",
                                  database="kaguya")

    # Create a cursor to perform database operations
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    # Print PostgreSQL details
    print("PostgreSQL server information")
    print(connection.get_dsn_parameters(), "\n")
    # Executing a SQL query
    cursor.execute("SELECT version();")
    # Fetch result
    record = cursor.fetchone()
    print("You are connected to - ", record, "\n")

except (Exception, Error) as error:
    print("Error while connecting to PostgreSQL", error)
finally:
    if (connection):
        cursor.close()
        connection.close()
        print("PostgreSQL connection is closed")

Execute this program to test the remote connection.

5. Removing PostGres and PostGIS

sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql   # OR
sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql-14  # Version number
