🗄️ Setup QuestDB — Time-Series Database with SQL

The script installs Docker if needed, starts questdb/questdb:latest with data persisted to ./data:/var/lib/questdb, then polls port 9008 until the console answers.
sudo bash questdb-ubuntu.sh4 Open the Web Console
Browse to the console and run your first query — no login is required on the console itself:
