Configuration Details

​
DATABASE_URL (Optional)

  • Purpose: Defines the connection URL for an external database to store presentation data, user configurations, or other application-related information.
  • Behavior: If DATABASE_URL is not provided or is invalid, Presenton defaults to using a local SQLite database for storage.
  • Supported Databases:
    • PostgreSQL: A robust, open-source relational database suitable for production environments.
    • MySQL: A widely-used relational database for scalable applications.
  • Format: Use standard connection strings for the respective database:
    • PostgreSQL: postgresql://user:password@host:port/dbname
    • MySQL: mysql://user:password@host:port/dbname

​
