Managed Databases

redu.cloud provides dedicated managed PostgreSQL and Redis servers under Managed in the sidebar.

1. Create a PostgreSQL database

Go to Managed → Databases → New database.

Click Create database. Provisioning takes ~5 minutes.

2. Save your credentials

After creation, a credentials panel appears once. Copy the connection string — the password will not be shown again.

postgresql://appuser:YOUR_PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/app

If you miss it, SSH into the server to retrieve the password from /etc/postgresql/*/main/pg_hba.conf or the setup log at /var/log/db-setup.log.

3. Connect to your database

import { Pool } from 'pg';
 
const pool = new Pool({
  connectionString: 'postgresql://appuser:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/app',
});

import psycopg2
 
conn = psycopg2.connect(
    "postgresql://appuser:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/app"
)

db, err := sql.Open("postgres",
    "postgresql://appuser:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/app")

psql "postgresql://appuser:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:5432/app"

4. Create a Redis instance

Go to Managed → Redis → New Redis.

5. Connect to Redis

import Redis from 'ioredis';
 
const redis = new Redis('redis://:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:6379');

import redis
 
r = redis.from_url('redis://:PASSWORD@SERVER_IP:6379')

rdb := goredis.NewClient(&goredis.Options{
    Addr:     "SERVER_IP:6379",
    Password: "PASSWORD",
})

redis-cli -h SERVER_IP -p 6379 -a PASSWORD

Backups

Use the Snapshots feature to take a point-in-time backup of the server. Go to Compute → Snapshots, find the database server by name, and create a snapshot.
