Use an External Database with the Ansible Installation

Set the value of the postgres_enabled field to false (which means that you are not going to use the Postgres role that is bundled with the collection) in group_vars/all/vars.yml.

Follow the steps below to create an external database and then change the corresponding product values in group_vars/all/vars.yml.

The following example shows a sample configuration for the Artifactory database connection details.

postgres_enabled: false

artifactory_db_type: postgresql
artifactory_db_driver: org.postgresql.Driver
artifactory_db_name: <external_db_name>
artifactory_db_user: <external_db_user>
artifactory_db_password: <external_db_pasword>
artifactory_db_url: jdbc:postgresql://<external_db_host>:5432/{{ artifactory_db_name }}
