This action sets up a PostgreSQL server for the rest of the job. Here are some key features:
- Runs on Linux, macOS and Windows action runners.
- Adds PostgreSQL client applications to
PATH. - Uses PostgreSQL binaries baked into GitHub Actions Runner Images.
- Easy to prove that it DOES NOT contain malicious code.
Important
In order to connect to a PostgreSQL server, use either connection parameters
from the table below (link), or retrieve a
connection URI from the connection-uri output (link).
Tip
libpq-using applications may choose to set the PGSERVICE=postgres
environment variable instead (link),
where postgres is the service name extracted from the service-name
output.

connection.execute(f"CREATE USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword'")
connection.execute(f"CREATE DATABASE mydatabase WITH OWNER 'myuser'")At the time of developing there were no GitHub Actions on the marketplace to setup a PostgreSQL server on Linux, Windows and macOS action runners. Most solutions suggest using Docker which is not available on macOS and Windows runners.
