Postgres is already enabled in the workspace, so all you need to do is create a database with the same name as your project:
psql -U gitpod
CREATE DATABASE project_name;
Now for it to work you need to define a DATABASE_URL variable either in the base.py settings file or preferably a .env file that isn't included in VCS. The default database connection string looks like this postgres:///dbname the one you define should be in this format postgres://user@localhost:port/dbname.
And then migrate your database:
python manage.py migrate
