		To use postgres storage you must install the `pg` package in npm

		Once you've done that, your config section should look like:

		``` json

		"type": "postgres",
		"connectionUrl": "postgres://user:password@host:5432/database
		}
		```

		You can also just set the environment variable for `DATABASE_URL` to your database connection url.

		Lastly, you will have to manually add a table to your postgres database:

		`create table entries (id serial primary key, key varchar(255) not null, value text not null, expiration int, unique(key));`


		You can also set an `expire` option to the number of seconds to expire keys in.
		This is off by default, but will constantly kick back expirations on each view
		or post.
