Overview QuestDB is a fast, open source, columnar time series database built for high throughput ingestion and low latency SQL analytics. It speaks SQL with time series extensions, ingests data over the InfluxDB line protocol and the PostgreSQL wire protocol, and answers queries through a REST API and an interactive web Console. This image delivers the QuestDB open source core fully installed and configured as a system service, so a production grade time series database is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack The QuestDB open source core installed under /opt/questdb with its bundled Java runtime and run by a dedicated unprivileged service account. The database root stored on a dedicated data disk so the time series store is independently resizable. A systemd service that starts the database in the foreground on boot and restarts it on failure. An nginx reverse proxy that publishes the web Console and the REST API on port 80 behind HTTP Basic authentication.
Time Series Database Ingest data at high throughput over the InfluxDB line protocol or the PostgreSQL wire protocol, then query it with SQL through the built in web Console, the REST API or any PostgreSQL client. QuestDB uses a columnar storage engine partitioned by time with SQL extensions for downsampling, interpolation and as of joins, so large datasets stay fast on modest hardware.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh admin password, unique to that instance, writes it into the nginx credentials file and writes the password to a root only file. The database itself binds to loopback only and is never exposed without authentication. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The web Console is served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to run SQL queries, import data, build charts and inspect tables. Point your InfluxDB line protocol writers, PostgreSQL clients or REST API integrations at the instance using the same credentials.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). The web Console is served on port 80: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with user admin and the generated password. Retrieve the credentials with: sudo cat /root/questdb-credentials.txt. The SQL REST API (/exec, /imp, /exp) is served on the same port 80 behind the same HTTP Basic credentials. The PostgreSQL wire protocol (port 8812) and the InfluxDB line protocol (port 9009) bind to loopback only by default; the user guide shows how to expose them when required. The QuestDB database root lives on a dedicated data disk mounted at /var/lib/questdb.
