    config:
      pepper: <pepper>
      database:
        engine: <db engine>
        name: "<database>"
        username: <db_user>
        password: <db_password>

the engine should either be mysql or postgres

The port is usually 5432 for PostgreSQL and 3306 for MariaDB/MySQL

sudo -u postgres psql <database>

CREATE user <db_user> WITH password '<db_password>';
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE <database> TO <db_user>;
GRANT SELECT ON users TO <db_user>;

sudo mysql -u root

CREATE user '<db_user>'@'localhost' WITH password '<db_password>';
GRANT SELECT ON <database>.users TO '<db_user>'@'localhost';
