How can I connect Supabase Self-Hosted to an external database?

[billypap1]

I have self-hosted Supabase but there are no docs in order to connect supabase to an external Postgres Database instead of the built in.

Found an answer?

Have you managed to get your JWT secrets working? I'll connect it to a external postgres later. Maybe we can help each other out.

I think you need to update the values in .env to point to the right host. There's a supabase/postgres image that you can host somewhere else.

Hey @vogelcodes,

Thanks for the typing out a solution. The .env variables, specifically the POSTGRES_* variables need to be updated in order to use an external database. For further reference, feel free to take a look at this guide

@J0 Do you have any tutorial explaining how to configure the Supabase CLI so it can be used with this Docker configuration ?
