Database connection string

[kovacevicz]

Hi,
is there a way to pass db connection string as one parameter containing all needed, instead of having all params defined separately.
For example, new url param inside .env could look like this:
LISTMONK_db__url=postgres://listmonk:lismonk@localhost:5432/listmonk

Or in case of config.toml:
url=postgres://listmonk:lismonk@localhost:5432/listmonk

Is this supported at the moment? Or any workaround I could use to achieve this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @kovacevicz. This is not possible. The env vars all have to be sent separately.

I was thinking about making PR, to support this case. What is your opinion on this?

I don’t think it’s ideal to support two different ways or specifying the same setting, one which involves string interpolation that too.

In most secure config environments, these params are likely to be stored independently.

Ok, thanks!
