Hosting on RDS

[richb201]

Has anyone had any success in self hosting on AWS RDS? Were there any instructions to hook up to RDS instead of a local copy of mySQL (or Postgres)?

Hi @richb201 ,

I just did this for a video showing how to add/remove nodes to a FusionAuth cluster ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6bPjqP4Dzk ).

You want to do a few things:

1. Set up RDS in such a way that your FusionAuth node can connect to it.
2. Run the database scripts against the RDS instance: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/fusionauth-app/#advanced-installation
3. Configure the username, password and URL in the fusionauth configuration to point to the RDS instance. https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/reference/configuration/ (database username, database password, database url). Because you are running the sql scripts manually, you won't need the root username/pw.

HTH.
