GCP guide

1. Create Ubuntu server on whatever Cloud Provider with some hard disk space or something idk

2. Install postgres

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-contrib

3. Setup user

Default user is postgres, but you need to set the password as it doesn't have one

sudo -u postgres psql postgres
\password postgres
#add password
CREATE EXTENSION adminpack; #enables server instrumentation
\q

4. Edit pg_hba.conf

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/12/main/pg_hba.conf

ip4.me => Get your ipv4 address

# IPv4 remote connections for the tutorial:
host    all             all           [YOUR_IPV4_ADDRESS]/32         md5

5. Edit postgresql.conf to listen on all IP addresses

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf

Find the line:

#listen_addresses = 'localhost'

And turn into:

listen_addresses = '*'

Save, exit, and restart in bash

sudo service postgresql restart

6. For your cloud provider make sure the server can be accessed by all IPs
