By default, the playbook installs and configures a Postgres database server for you. That server is a basic PostgreSQL setup with no specific optimization or features. For example, it doesn’t provide any high availability mechanism.

Note: This server also requires to NOT have a sudo configuration with requirestty set.

If you’d prefer to use an external database server, you can override the repo_db_url variable as described in the earlier section.

An example custom database URL is shown below:

repo_db_url: jdbc:mysql://54.164.117.56:3306/alfresco?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8
repo_db_driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Along with the URL, the database driver binaries need to be provided for one or both services in the configuration_files/db_connector_repo and/or configuration_files/db_connector_sync folders.

The default database username (repo_db_username and/or sync_db_username) and password (repo_db_password and/or sync_db_password) in the configuration file group_vars/all.yml can also be overridden with your custom values.

See Databases for more details.
