Database

Nysa requires you to have a Postgres database running with the pgvector extension for semantic search.

This can easily be done with a Docker command:

docker run -d --rm \
  --name nysa-postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=nysa \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test-password \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=nysa \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  pgvector/pgvector:0.8.1-pg18-trixie

Note that the --rm flag means that the Docker container, its volumes, and its networks will be deleted on docker stop. If you do not want this behavior, omit the --rm flag.

After that, create a config.toml file (wherever you’ll launch Nysa from) with the following category and field:

[database]
url = "postgres://nysa:test-password@localhost:5432/nysa"

That easy! Now you can go ahead and set up a provider API Nysa.
