# Using an external PostgreSQL server (optional)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, this playbook would set up a PostgreSQL database server on your machine, running in a Docker container.
|
||
|
|
If that's alright, you can skip this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you'd like to use an external PostgreSQL server that you manage, you can edit your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`).
|
||
|
|
It should be something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
matrix_postgres_use_external: true
|
||
|
|
matrix_postgres_connection_hostname: "your-postgres-server-hostname"
|
||
|
|
matrix_postgres_connection_username: "your-postgres-server-username"
|
||
|
|
matrix_postgres_connection_password: "your-postgres-server-password"
|
||
|
|
matrix_postgres_db_name: "your-postgres-server-database-name"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The database (as specified in `matrix_postgres_db_name`) must exist and be accessible with the given credentials.
|
||
|
|
It must be empty or contain a valid Matrix Synapse database. If empty, Matrix Synapse would populate it the first time it runs.
