+# Database
+
+Database settings are configured in the `[database]` section of your `config.toml` file. MediaManager uses PostgreSQL as its database backend.
+
+## Database Settings (`[database]`)
+
+* `host`\
+  Hostname or IP of the PostgreSQL server. Default is `localhost`.
+* `port`\
+  Port number of the PostgreSQL server. Default is `5432`.
+* `user`\
+  Username for the PostgreSQL connection. Default is `MediaManager`.
+* `password`\
+  Password for the PostgreSQL user. Default is `MediaManager`.
+* `dbname`\
+  Name of the PostgreSQL database. Default is `MediaManager`.
+
+## Example Configuration
+
+Here's a complete example of the database section in your `config.toml`:
+
+{% code title="config.toml" %}
+```toml
+[database]
+host = "db"
+port = 5432
+user = "MediaManager"
+password = "your_secure_password"
+dbname = "MediaManager"
+```
+{% endcode %}
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+In docker-compose deployments the container name is simultaneously its hostname, so you can use "db" or "postgres" as host.
+{% endhint %}
