If you don't have PostgreSQL installed yet, follow the instructions from the PostgreSQL step in UpLeveled's System Setup Instructions.
Copy the .env.example file to a new file called .env (ignored from Git) and fill in the necessary information.
Then, connect to the built-in postgres database as administrator in order to create the database:
If it asks for a password, use postgres.
psql -U postgres
psql postgres
sudo -u postgres psql
Once you have connected, run the following to create the database:
CREATE DATABASE ; CREATE USER WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ''; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE TO ; \connect CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION ; Quit psql using the following command:
\q On Linux, it is best practice to create an operating system user for each database, to ensure that the operating system user can only access the single database and no other system resources. A different password is needed on Linux because passwords of operating system users cannot contain the user name. First, generate a random password and copy it:
openssl rand -hex 16 Then create the user, using the database user name from the previous section above. When you are prompted to create a password for the user, paste in the generated password.
sudo adduser Once you're ready to use the new user, reconnect using the following command.
psql -U
sudo -u psql -U
pnpm jest
pnpm playwright test
