## Common questions

### Which environment variables are needed for the postgres-meta quickstart?

Set PG_META_HOST and PG_META_PORT for the API, and PG_META_DB_HOST, PG_META_DB_NAME, PG_META_DB_USER, PG_META_DB_PORT, and PG_META_DB_PASSWORD for the target database.

### Can the postgres-meta API be exposed directly to the internet?

No. It uses no security, so run it behind a proxy in a trusted environment, locally, or internally with no outside access.

### Can a single postgres-meta instance manage more than one Postgres database?

Yes. The server is multi-tenant and can support multiple Postgres databases from a single server.

### What purpose does postgres-meta serve besides providing a REST API for metadata?

It acts as a lightweight connection pooler and normalizes the Postgres system catalog into a more readable format.
