Database Section

Configuration options for how ESS can communicate with your PostgreSQL database

This section of the ESS installer GUI will only be present if you are using the Kubernetes deployment option or you have opted to use your own PostgreSQL for a Standalone deployment.

If you have not yet setup your PostgreSQL, you should ensure you have done so before proceeding, see the relevant PostgreSQL section from the Requirements and Recommendations page:

• Standalone Deployment PostgreSQL Prerequisites
• Kubernetes Deployment PostgreSQL Prerequisites

All settings configured via the UI in this section will be saved to your deployment.yml, with the contents of secrets being saved to secrets.yml. You will find specific config examples under each respective section.
