In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to connect to a Postgres database using Outerbase.

Connecting to a Postgres Database in Outerbase

Before you begin you will need an Outerbase account, and an existing Postgres database.

To begin, click on the "Connect" button.

Next, select your database type. In this case, we are using Postgres.

Click on the "Continue" button to proceed.

Now, you need to enter your database information. Not sure how to get that? Follow one of our provider guides to walk you through it.

You can either paste in the connection string, or you can paste each parameter individually, these include:

Host, Port, Database Name, Username, Password

To ensure secure access, you should whitelist the IPs. Copy the provided IPs and add them to your database's whitelist.

After whitelisting the IPs, click on the "Test Connection" button.

If you have entered all the information correctly, you will see a successful connection message.

Finally, give your database a name and click on the "Create Base" button.
