# Database Configuration Setup - PostgreSQL
## Overview
Database credentials are stored in a separate configuration file (`db.config.js`) that is **NOT committed to GitHub** for security reasons.
This project uses **PostgreSQL** for persistent data storage.
## Files
### 1. `db.config.example.js` (Committed to Git)
Template file showing the required PostgreSQL configuration structure.
### 2. `db.config.js` (NOT Committed - in .gitignore)
Contains actual PostgreSQL credentials. This file must be created manually.
### 3. `.gitignore`
Ensures `db.config.js` is never committed to the repository.
## Quick Setup
### Quick Start
1. **Ensure PostgreSQL is running** on your server
2. **Create the database:** `CREATE DATABASE connect5;`
3. **Run the schema:** `psql -h HOST -U postgres -d connect5 -f postgres-schema.sql`
4. **Create `db.config.js`:**
```javascript
module.exports = {
HOST: '202.171.184.108',
USER: 'postgres',
PASSWORD: 'your-password',
DB: 'connect5',
dialect: 'postgres',
pool: { max: 5, min: 0, acquire: 30000, idle: 10000 }
};
```
5. **Start server:** `npm start`
## Security Features
✅ **Credentials not in git** - `db.config.js` is in `.gitignore`
✅ **Template provided** - `db.config.example.js` shows the structure
✅ **Connection pooling** - Efficient database connection management
✅ **Separate config** - Easy to update without touching main code
## Troubleshooting
### Error: Cannot find module './db.config.js'
**Solution:** Create the `db.config.js` file:
```bash
cp db.config.example.js db.config.js
# Then edit with your PostgreSQL credentials
```
### Error: ECONNREFUSED or connection timeout
**Solution:** Check your credentials in `db.config.js`:
- Verify `HOST` is accessible
- Verify `USER` and `PASSWORD` are correct
- Ensure PostgreSQL server is running: `sudo systemctl status postgresql`
- Check firewall allows connection to port 5432
### Error: Table 'players' does not exist
**Solution:**
- Run the SQL schema: `psql -h HOST -U postgres -d connect5 -f postgres-schema.sql`
- See README.md for setup instructions
## Important Notes
⚠️ **NEVER commit `db.config.js` to git**
⚠️ **Keep credentials secure**
⚠️ **Use different databases for dev/prod**
⚠️ **Configure PostgreSQL firewall rules appropriately**
