This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview TimescaleDB is the open source time-series SQL extension for PostgreSQL, letting you write standard SQL queries against billions of rows and get millisecond response times. Hypertables automatically partition time-series data into chunks, continuous aggregates pre-compute common rollups, and native columnar compression can reduce storage by up to 95 percent. This image delivers TimescaleDB fully installed and configured on top of PostgreSQL, so a production-ready time-series database is running within minutes of launch.
Database Stack PostgreSQL with the TimescaleDB extension running as a systemd service. Installed from the official PGDG APT repository for PostgreSQL and the Timescale Community packagecloud repository for the extension. Community edition (Apache 2.0) only, with no Timescale License cloud-hosting restrictions. timescaledb-tune has been run to calibrate shared_buffers and work_mem to the instance's available RAM.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh PostgreSQL superuser password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root-only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use Connect with the credentials from /root/timescaledb-credentials.txt and start creating hypertables, continuous aggregates, and time-bucket queries straight away. Database files are stored on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk.
