Custom database configuration for camunda-bpm-run distro

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

I am looking at these docs for camunda-bpm-run on how to configure a custom (ie. non H2) db: Camunda Platform Run | docs.camunda.org
Camunda Platform Run | docs.camunda.org

The first link explicitly says we have to manually save a driver jar and to manually instantiate table schema.

But since all config properties from spring-boot-starter should be available for camunda-bpm-run yml files, can I use the following config to automatically create schema from here?: schema-update

And, for the driver, are postgresql and mysql natively supported? As in, can I just pass in their driver class names as environ vars as noted here without having to manually save their driver jars?

As far as I’m aware for all supported databases you would need to configure the connection to the database in the defualt.yml file and finally add the driver to the userlib folder.

Assuming schema auto update is enabled the tables should be created automatically if the connection to the database is successfully made.
