External Database

To utilize an external database the following values are available for configuration:

nautobot:
  db:
    engine: "django.db.backends.postgresql"
    host: "db.example.com"
    name: "nautobot_db_name"
    password: "nautobot_db_user_password"
    port: 5432
    timeout: 300
    user: "nautobot_db_username"
postgresql:
  enabled: false

If you do not want to set the password in values, you can rather use an existing secret. The following is the example of the configuration. Please note that both, username and password are taken from the existing secret, that is why both are required in the secret, otherwise the deployment will fail.

nautobot:
  db:
    existingSecret: "credentials"
    existingSecretUsernameKey: "dbusername"
    existingSecretPasswordKey: "dbpassword"
postgresql:
  enabled: false
