The reproductive-health page promised that deleting all data or the account erases at once. Both wait for the grace window now, the nightly dumps keep a record until they age out, and the old pgdata volume is a full copy until it is removed; the page says so and how to make deletion final. The README, the getting-started note on majors, the move guide and the Unraid and Portainer templates catch up with Postgres 18, the backups volume and the recovery kit. The demo seed's spread bound leaves room for the seed's own one-in-150 spread.
HealthLog on Portainer
HealthLog ships a Portainer app template that deploys the app and its
PostgreSQL 18 database as one stack from the project docker-compose.yml.
Add the template
-
In Portainer, go to Settings → App Templates.
-
Set the URL to the raw template file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MBombeck/HealthLog/main/docs/self-hosting/portainer/templates.json -
Save. HealthLog now appears under App Templates.
Deploy
- Open App Templates → HealthLog.
- Fill in the variables. Generate each secret with
openssl rand -hex 32(a 64-character hex string):POSTGRES_PASSWORDENCRYPTION_KEY— back this up; losing it makes encrypted data unrecoverableAPI_TOKEN_HMAC_KEYSESSION_COOKIE_SECURE— set tofalsefor plain-HTTP / LAN access, or login silently fails. Set totrueonly behind an HTTPS reverse proxy.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URLandAPP_URL— how you reach the app, e.g.http://nas:3000orhttps://healthlog.example.com.
- Deploy the stack. The app waits for PostgreSQL, runs database migrations on first boot, then starts serving.
- Open the app URL. The first registered user becomes the admin.
Verify the running version:
curl -s http://<host>:3000/api/version
Notes
- Persistent state lives in one named volume (
postgres-data, the Postgres data); the app container is stateless. Back up the database to back up everything. - Pin a release tag (
HEALTHLOG_IMAGE_REF=:vX.Y.Z) for deliberate upgrades, or track:latest. Skim the CHANGELOG and back up before upgrading. Migrations are forward-only. - For passive discovery you can also submit this template to the community aggregator at https://github.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates.
