encryption_key

See the encryption_key docs.

host

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The database server host.

If utilising an IPv6 literal address it must be enclosed by square brackets and quoted:

host: "[fd00:1111:2222:3333::1]"

port

{{< confkey type="integer" default="5432" required="no" >}}

The port the database server is listening on.

database

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The database name on the database server that the assigned user has access to for the purpose of Authelia.

schema

{{< confkey type="string" default="public" required="no" >}}

The database schema name to use on the database server that the assigned user has access to for the purpose of Authelia. By default this is the public schema.

username

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The username paired with the password used to connect to the database.

password

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The password paired with the username used to connect to the database. Can also be defined using a secret which is also the recommended way when running as a container.

We recommend generating a random string with 64 characters or more for this purposes which can be done by following the Generating a Random Alphanumeric String guide.

{{< confkey type="duration" default="5s" required="no" >}}

The SQL connection timeout.

ssl

mode

{{< confkey type="string" default="disable" required="no" >}}

SSL mode configures how to handle SSL connections with Postgres. Valid options are 'disable', 'require', 'verify-ca', or 'verify-full'. See the PostgreSQL Documentation or pgx - PostgreSQL Driver and Toolkit Documentation for more information.

The optional location of the root certificate file encoded in the PEM format for validation purposes.
