# Postgre-TLS - Secure PostgreSQL Docker Setup with SSL/TLS
A secure PostgreSQL Docker container with enforced SSL/TLS encryption, certificate verification, and advanced security features.
## Docker Images
This project builds and publishes Docker images to the git.nixc.us registry:
- **Unstable**: `git.nixc.us/postgre-tls:unstable` (latest development)
- **Stable**: `git.nixc.us/postgre-tls:stable` (stable releases)
## Features
- **SSL/TLS Encryption**: TLSv1.3 with 256-bit AES-GCM encryption
- **Certificate Verification**: Full SSL certificate verification enabled
- **SCRAM-SHA-256 Authentication**: Secure password authentication
- **Row-Level Security**: Built-in support for fine-grained access control
- **Audit Logging**: Comprehensive audit trail for database operations
- **Data Integrity**: Checksums enabled for data corruption detection
- **Monitoring**: Built-in performance monitoring with pg_stat_statements
- **Encryption Functions**: pgcrypto extension for additional encryption capabilities
## Quick Start
1. **Start the PostgreSQL container**:
```bash
./start.sh
```
2. **Connect to the database**:
```bash
./connect.sh
```
3. **Stop the container**:
```bash
docker-compose down
```
## SSL Connection Details
The setup provides enterprise-grade security with:
- **Encryption**: TLSv1.3 with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher
- **Key Size**: 256-bit encryption
- **Certificate**: Self-signed with full verification
- **Authentication**: SCRAM-SHA-256 password hashing
## Manual Connection
You can also connect manually using psql:
```bash
psql "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgre_tls user=postgre_tls_user sslmode=verify-full sslrootcert=secrets/ca_crt"
```
For non-interactive connection, set the PGPASSWORD environment variable:
```bash
export PGPASSWORD=$(cat secrets/postgres_password || echo "change_me_in_production")
psql "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgre_tls user=postgre_tls_user sslmode=verify-full sslrootcert=secrets/ca_crt"
```
