Postgres Private CA: External Database with Private CA Certificate + Traefik #

For environments where the database uses a private or self-signed CA certificate (on-prem databases, private cloud).

• PostgreSQL: External database with custom CA certificate for SSL
• Redis: External
• Proxy: Traefik with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt

Usage #

cp -r examples/postgres-private-ca ./my-deployment
cd my-deployment
# Edit docker.env: set NC_REDIS_URL
# Edit docker-compose.yml:
#   - Replace nocodb.example.com with your domain
#   - Replace admin@example.com with your email
# Edit nocodb/db.json:
#   - Set your database host, credentials, and port
#   - Replace the ca value with your CA certificate content
#     (newlines replaced with \n, all on one line)
docker compose up -d

Preparing the CA certificate #

The CA certificate must be embedded as a single-line string in db.json with \n for newlines. You can convert it with:

awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf "%s\\n",$0;}' your-ca.pem

Then paste the output as the ca value in db.json.
