Database configuration

This section describes how to configure an external or internal database connection to the application.

dbConfig:
  internal:
    # dbConfig.internal.enabled -- set to true to use a postgresql instance deployed with this helm chart
    enabled: true
  external:
    # dbConfig.external.enabled -- set to true to use an external database with the application
    enabled: false
    # dbConfig.external.useExistingConfigMap -- If the database configuration is created externally (e.g. through terraform) as a ConfigMap `db-config`, set this to true. In this case, all other settings in dbConfig.external are ignored
    useExistingConfigMap: false
    # dbConfig.external.engine -- Set to `psql` to use a postgresql database. set to `mysql` to use a mysql database
    engine: psql
    # dbConfig.external.host -- hostname/ip of the database
    host:
    # dbConfig.external.name -- database name to connect to
    name:
    # dbConfig.external.user -- username for the database connection
    user:
    # dbConfig.external.password -- password for the database connection
    password:
    # dbConfig.external.port -- Port of the datbase
    port: 5432
    ssl: false
    # dbConfig.external.schema -- Postgresql schema to use, only relevant when dbConfig.external.engine: psql is set
    schema: public
