Database connection

Add db_string.json with your own database connection string with format like:

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "[Your connection string]"
    }
}

you can refer to connectionstrings.com to write your own DB connection string.

by default Lonefire uses Postgres SQL you can change it from Startup.cs.

services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>                options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

Change UseNpgsql to whatever DB that asp.net core 2.2 supports.

You might need to install nuget package to use other DB.

Also Change default value inData/ApplicationDBContext.cs to your DB's default if you changed the DB.
