This is what mine looks like. I don’t know what would happen if I removed everything but `host_names:`. I repeat this for all of my sites.

```plaintext
          forum2:
            adapter: postgresql
            database: forum2_discourse
            host: data
            password: SEKRET
            pool: 25
            timeout: 5000
            host_names:
              - forum2.example.org

```
