#### Configure PostgreSQL
#### Step 2. Configure ThingsBoard Database
ThingsBoard Edge supports SQL and hybrid database approaches.
In this guide we will use SQL only.
For hybrid details please follow official installation instructions from the ThingsBoard documentation site.
### PostgresSql
ThingsBoard Edge uses PostgreSQL database as a local storage.
Instructions listed below will help you to install PostgreSQL.
To install PostgreSQL, follow the instructions below.
```bash
# Update your system
sudo yum update
sudo dnf update
{:copy-code}
```
**For CentOS 7:**
Install the repository RPM:
**For CentOS/RHEL 8:**
```bash
# Install the repository RPM (for CentOS 7):
sudo yum -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
# Install packages
sudo yum -y install epel-release yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --enable pgdg16
sudo yum install postgresql16-server postgresql16 postgresql16-contrib
# Initialize your PostgreSQL DB
sudo /usr/pgsql-16/bin/postgresql-16-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-16
# Optional: Configure PostgreSQL to start on boot
# Install the repository RPM (For CentOS/RHEL 8):
sudo sudo dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
{:copy-code}
```
**For CentOS/RHEL 9:**
```bash
# Install the repository RPM (for CentOS 9):
sudo dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-9-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
{:copy-code}
```
Install packages and initialize PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL service will automatically start every time the system boots up.
```bash
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql && \
sudo dnf -y install postgresql16 postgresql16-server postgresql16-contrib && \
sudo /usr/pgsql-16/bin/postgresql-16-setup initdb && \
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql-16
{:copy-code}
```
**For CentOS 8:**
Once PostgreSQL is installed, it is recommended to set the password for the PostgreSQL main user.
The following command will switch the current user to the PostgreSQL user and set the password directly in PostgreSQL.
```bash
# Install the repository RPM (for CentOS 8):
sudo yum -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
# Install packages
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql
sudo dnf -y install postgresql16 postgresql16-server postgresql16-contrib
# Initialize your PostgreSQL DB
sudo /usr/pgsql-16/bin/postgresql-16-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-16
# Optional: Configure PostgreSQL to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql-16
sudo -u postgres psql -c "\password"
{:copy-code}
```
Once PostgreSQL is installed you may want to create a new user or set the password for the main user.
The instructions below will help to set the password for main PostgreSQL user:
Then, enter and confirm the password.
```text
sudo su - postgres
psql
\password
\q
```
Since ThingsBoard Edge uses the PostgreSQL database for local storage, configuring MD5 authentication ensures that only authenticated users or
applications can access the database, thus protecting your data. After configuring the password,
edit the pg_hba.conf file to use MD5 hashing for authentication instead of the default method (ident) for local IPv4 connections.
Then, press "Ctrl+D" to return to main user console.
After configuring the password, edit the pg_hba.conf to use MD5 authentication with the postgres user.
Edit pg_hba.conf file:
To replace ident with md5, run the following command:
```bash
sudo nano /var/lib/pgsql/16/data/pg_hba.conf
sudo sed -i 's/^host\s\+all\s\+all\s\+127\.0\.0\.1\/32\s\+ident/host all all 127.0.0.1\/32 md5/' /var/lib/pgsql/16/data/pg_hba.conf
{:copy-code}
```
Locate the following lines:
```text
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
```
Replace `ident` with `md5`:
```text
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
```
Finally, you should restart the PostgreSQL service to initialize the new configuration:
Then run the command that will restart the PostgreSQL service to apply configuration changes, connect to the database as a postgres user,
and create the ThingsBoard Edge database (tb_edge). To connect to the PostgreSQL database, enter the PostgreSQL password.
```bash
sudo systemctl restart postgresql-16.service
sudo systemctl restart postgresql-16.service && psql -U postgres -d postgres -h 127.0.0.1 -W -c "CREATE DATABASE tb_edge;"
{:copy-code}
```
Connect to the database to create ThingsBoard Edge DB:
#### Step 3. Choose Queue Service
```bash
psql -U postgres -d postgres -h 127.0.0.1 -W
{:copy-code}
```
ThingsBoard Edge supports only Kafka or in-memory queue (since v4.0) for message storage and communication between ThingsBoard services.
How to choose the right queue implementation?
Execute create database statement:
In Memory queue implementation is built-in and default. It is useful for development(PoC) environments and is not suitable for production deployments or any sort of cluster deployments.
```bash
CREATE DATABASE tb_edge;
\q
{:copy-code}
```
Kafka is recommended for production deployments. This queue is used on the most of ThingsBoard production environments now.
#### ThingsBoard Edge service installation
In Memory queue is built in and enabled by default. No additional configuration is required.
#### Step 4. ThingsBoard Edge Service Installation

```bash
