DB Sync set-up

Before you start working with a DB Sync, it is important that you have your Cardano node, DB Sync, and PostgreSQL installed on the same machine.

To get started:

1. Check system requirements
2. Install PostgreSQL
3. Create the database and manage schemas
4. Build and run the cardano-node and cardano-db-sync.

Using Docker

Using a Docker image provides a convenient way to package up applications and preconfigured server environments. See how to:

• build Docker images with Nix
• use Docker images when working with DB Sync.
