Hello. I am here today to ask a short question. I was wondering if you could tell me if and how I could connect to a PostgreSQL database differently to shown in the install guide. Currently, it is currently trying to connect to a local instance of PostgreSQL of which we don’t want. We are trying to figure out how we can connect it to the instance of PostgreSQL that we have in a docker container but we don’t see how we can do it. Many Thanks, Seren_Modz 21

Thank you Benjamin_D. I will go and give it a try.

It worked. Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it. :smiley:
