Setting up Strapi with PostgreSQL on Render

To set up your Strapi project and connect it to a PostgreSQL database on Render, follow these steps:

1. Install Strapi:

   npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart

2. Configure PostgreSQL:

   Update your config/database.js file to use PostgreSQL:

   module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
     defaultConnection: 'default',
     connections: {
       default: {
         connector: 'bookshelf',
         settings: {
           client: 'postgres',
           host: env('DATABASE_HOST', 'your-postgres-host'),
           port: env.int('DATABASE_PORT', 5432),
           database: env('DATABASE_NAME', 'your-database-name'),
           username: env('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'your-database-username'),
           password: env('DATABASE_PASSWORD', 'your-database-password'),
           ssl: env.bool('DATABASE_SSL', false),
         },
         options: {},
       },
     },
   });

3. Deploy on Render:

   • Sign up on Render and create a new PostgreSQL database.
