Hello everyone, I'm trying to use an external PostgreSQL database with HAPI-FHIR service. I've been doing everything this https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter manual mentioned without success. Apparently the docker service doesn't read the application.yaml configuration. Someone has been the same?

Hi @Alonso Alberto Carvajal You can use environment vars to get it to work, no need to use application.yml. Here's an example using PG which you can just change it to use an external database if you wish. See the last comment in this gist. https://gist.github.com/citizenrich/ef644ea195106a771717e8c234e525b3#gistcomment-3496813

Thanks @Richard Stanley , your recommendation works perfectly! I just wonder why it does not work with the recommendations that are in https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter :thinking:

@Alonso Alberto Carvajal you need to remember to mount your configuration inside the docker image. An example of this is here: https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter#configuration-via-overridden-applicationyaml-file-and-using-docker

@Jens Villadsen Thanks for this information. I've been trying to integrate that solution for quite some time without success. Maybe there is something I am doing wrong, however I will keep trying. At the moment @Richard Stanley 's solution meets my need.
