External Database

While the default SQLite database should be sufficient for almost all use cases, PtpUploader supports using an external database such as PostgreSQL or MariaDB/MySQL.

PostgreSQL example

• Ensure the user and database have been created.
• Install pre-requisites

pip install psycopg2

• In config.yml, add a new section

DATABASES:
  default:
    ENGINE: 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'
    NAME: 'ptpuploader'
    USER: 'ptpuploader'
    PASSWORD: 'PtPuPlOaDeR'
    HOST: 'sql.example.com'
    PORT: ''
