<p>Langflow's default database is <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/docs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SQLite</a>, but you can configure Langflow to use PostgreSQL instead.</p>
|
||
<p>This guide walks you through setting up an external database for Langflow by replacing the default SQLite connection string <code>sqlite:///./langflow.db</code> with PostgreSQL.</p>

|
||
<p>To connect Langflow to PostgreSQL, follow these steps.</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Find your PostgreSQL database's connection string.
|
||
It looks like <code>postgresql://user:password@host:port/dbname</code>.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>The hostname in your connection string depends on how you're running PostgreSQL.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If you're running PostgreSQL directly on your machine, use <code>localhost</code>.</li>
|
||
<li>If you're running PostgreSQL in Docker Compose, use the service name, such as <code>postgres</code>.</li>
|
