Introduction
------------
This guide explains how to connect a new or existing Timescale Postgres database to a Hasura Cloud project.
Step 0: Sign up or log in to Hasura Cloud
-----------------------------------------
Navigate to `Hasura Cloud <https://cloud.hasura.io/signup/?pg=docs&plcmt=body&cta=navigate-to-hasura-cloud&tech=default>`__ and sign up or log in.
.. _create_hasura_project_timescale:
Step 1: Create a Hasura Cloud project
-------------------------------------
On the Hasura Cloud dashboard, create a new project:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/create-hasura-cloud-project.png
:alt: Create Hasura Cloud project
:width: 1000px
You will get prompted for a Postgres Database URL. We will create this in the next step and then come back here.
After the project is initialized successfully, click on ``Launch console`` to open the Hasura console in your browser.
On the Hasura console, navigate to ``Data -> Manage -> Connect Database -> Connect existing database``:

.. _create_pg_db_timescale:
Step 2: Create a Postgres DB on Timescale (skip if you have an existing DB)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Log into the `Timescale Cloud portal <https://portal.timescale.cloud/login>`__.
On the Timescale dashboard, under ``Services``, click on ``+ Create new service``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/create-new-service.png
:alt: Create a new service on Timescale
:width: 1000px
Select the Postgres option:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/select-postgres.png
:alt: Select Postgres on Timescale
:width: 700px
Scroll down and select the ``Cloud Provider``, ``Region`` and ``Service Plan`` based on your requirements.
In the end, enter a ``Name`` for the service:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/create-service.png
:alt: Create a service on Timescale
:width: 1000px
Then click ``Create service``.
.. note::
If you're using a database user other than the default one, make sure to give it the right :ref:`Postgres permissions <cloud_postgres_permissions>`.
Step 3: Allow connections to your DB from Hasura Cloud
------------------------------------------------------
On the ``Services`` dashboard, click on your DB:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/select-db.png
:alt: Select DB on Timescale
:width: 1000px
Scroll down to ``Allowed IP Addresses`` and click on ``Change``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/change-allowed-ip-addresses.png
:alt: Change allowed IP addresses on Timescale
:width: 1000px
Copy the IP address from the copy icon in the ``Hasura Cloud IP`` field on the project's details view on Hasura Cloud.
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/projects/hasura-cloud-ip.png
:alt: Hasura Cloud IP field
:width: 1000px
Add the Hasura IP address that you copied, click on the ``+`` and then click on ``Save changes``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/add-hasura-ip.png
:alt: Add the Hasura IP on Timescale
:width: 500px
.. _get_db_url_timescale:
Step 4: Get the database connection URL
---------------------------------------
The structure of the database connection URL looks as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
postgresql://<user-name>:<password>@<public-ip>:<postgres-port>/<db>
To get it, navigate to the ``Overview`` tab of your database dashboard and copy the ``Service URI``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/timescale/copy-service-uri.png
:alt: Copy the service URI on Timescale
:width: 1000px
Step 5: Finish connecting the database
--------------------------------------
Back on Hasura Console, enter the database URL that we retrieved in :ref:`step 4 <get_db_url_timescale>`:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/getting-started/connect-db.png
:alt: Database setup
:width: 600px
Then click ``Connect Database``.
.. note::
For security reasons, it is recommended to set database URLs as :ref:`env vars <manage_project_env_vars>` and using the env vars
to connect to the databases in place of the raw database URLs.
Voilà. You are ready to start developing.
