"If you need to stand up a web server along with the database, and maybe a few other components, too, look to the XAMPP stack. This all-in-one solution contains MariaDB plus the Apache web server, the PHP runtime, the Mercury SMTP mail server, web-based controls for all the components, and a service manager for the desktop. It even includes OpenSSL for proper https support."
"PostgreSQL Various repackagings of PostgreSQL as a standalone application have come and gone over the years (see this project, for instance), but it takes relatively little work to set up your own standalone PostgreSQL application. Obtain the binaries minus the setup tools, unpack them into a directory, and run initdb to configure the basic setup. You can then use pg_ctl to start and stop the database as needed."
XAMPP provides an all-in-one local web stack including MariaDB, the Apache web server, the PHP runtime, the Mercury SMTP mail server, web-based controls, a desktop service manager, and OpenSSL for HTTPS support. PostgreSQL can be deployed as a standalone application by extracting binaries, running initdb to initialize the data directory, and using pg_ctl to start and stop the server. Developers can use prepackaged repackagings or create a minimal standalone setup by omitting installer tools. Python developers can use pgserver, a pip-installable library that embeds a full PostgreSQL instance in a virtual environment at about a 30MB cost.
