django-timescaledb 0.2.1

A Django database backend for integration with TimescaleDB

A database backend for Timescaledb.

Based on gist from WeRiot.

Still WIP.

Quick start

1. Install via pip

pip install django-timescaledb

2. Use as DATABASE engine in settings.py:

    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'timescale',
        ...
    },
}

3. Use TimescaleDateTimeField in your models. A hypertable will automatically be created.

from timescale.fields import TimescaleDateTimeField

class SensorLog(models.Model):
   date = TimescaleDateTimeField(interval="1 day")
   value = models.IntegerField()

Custom DB backend

Use a custom PostgreSQL db backend like PostGIS.

# Configure via settings.py

TIMESCALE_DB_BACKEND_BASE = "django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis"
