[Feature] Install instruction for existing postgresql server

[jeanpaulrh]

The feature

Hi,
I would like to avoid having multiple postgresql instances running on my machine for every container which needs a db, so I would like to use a db inside my existing postgresql container. Is it possible? Is there a doc that explains how to install immich with an existing postgresql server?
Thanks

It doesn't need anything special, just configure the DB_* variables in the .env file to point at your existing database.

Thanks. I'm sorry I've asked. I never used a .env file for my docker, and I didn't read its content while browsing the documentation.
Thanks again.
