Hello,
How can I install budibase with another database that the one we have to create ? I am using the install on Ubuntu script.
I need the database to be the SQL database (postgres) in Google Cloud.
Thanks a lot

Hi @ozzz,
Are you using Baserow or Budibase? If Budibase we can’t help you here and I would suggest you ask in their forums.
To do this in Baserow you should follow this section of the guide [Installation on Ubuntu // Baserow](https://baserow.io/docs/guides%2Finstallation%2Finstall-on-ubuntu#install-and-configure-supervisor) ensure you set the `DATABASE_NAME` , `DATABASE_USER`, `DATABASE_PASSWORD`, `DATABASE_HOST` and `DATABASE_PORT` environment variables to point at your GCP postgres instance. (Edit `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/baserow.conf`'s environment section to set the above environemnt variables to the correct values, then you should follow the section `After modifying these files you need to make supervisor reread the files and apply the changes.` in the Installation on Ubuntu guide to reload the config and restart Baserow)
