Postgresql configuration

By default, Kanboard use Sqlite to store its data but it's also possible to use Postgresql.

Requirements

Postgresql server already installed and configured
The PHP extension pdo_pgsql installed (Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install php5-pgsql)

Note: Kanboard is tested with Postgresql 9.3 and 9.4

Configuration

Create an empty database with the command `pgsql`:

CREATE DATABASE kanboard;

Create a config file

The file config.php should contain those values:

<?php

// We choose to use Postgresql instead of Sqlite
define('DB_DRIVER', 'postgres');

// Mysql parameters
define('DB_USERNAME', 'REPLACE_ME');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'REPLACE_ME');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'REPLACE_ME');
define('DB_NAME', 'kanboard');

Note: You can also rename the template file config.default.php to config.php.

Importing SQL dump (alternative method)

For the first time, Kanboard will run one by one each database migration and this process can take some time according to your configuration.

To avoid any issues or potential timeouts you can initialize the database directly by importing the SQL schema:

psql -U postgres my_database < app/Schema/Sql/postgres.sql

The file app/Schema/Sql/postgres.sql is a sql dump that represents the last version of the database.
