Update my database credentials

With package installation (Debian, Ubuntu, RPM)

Open /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php file and edit the Datasources block:

(...)
    // Database configuration.
    'Datasources' => [
        'default' => [
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => '3306',
            'username' => 'passbolt',
            'password' => 'password',
            'database' => 'passboltdb',
        ],
    ],
(...)

Save and quit.

From source installation

It is the same block to edit than the package installation, but passbolt configuration file is located on /var/www/passbolt/config/passbolt.php

With docker installation

Database credentials are set in environment variables and you need to edit them for each container:

For mariadb container:

MYSQL_DATABASE: "passboltdb"
MYSQL_USER: "passbolt"
MYSQL_PASSWORD: "very-strong-password"

For passbolt container:

DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_DATABASE: "passboltdb"
DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME: "passbolt"
DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: "very-strong-password"
