Feature: configure external database #123

Closed Mmoncadaisla closed 7 months ago

Mmoncadaisla commented 7 months ago

Feature Description

It would be awesome if the PostgreSQL service was optional, being possible to connect to a compatible external database that complies with a minimal PostgreSQL and PostGIS versions.

Proposed Solution

Ability to specify an external database in the values.yaml file, including the connection settings in an existent Secret.

Additional Information

We're starting to review Geonode and the effort made here for deployment in k8s looks really promising. However, we already have a PostgreSQL operator Cloud Native PG and aim to keep using it.
