Unsupported install are, well, unsupported.

You can run a supported install by following our [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) where it is completely with an external database like our guide [Running Discourse with a separate PostgreSQL server](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-discourse-with-a-separate-postgresql-server/46375).
