 The next step is to generate the configuration file and tweak it to reach the PostgreSQL database.
+
+## Database
+
+You can run a PostgreSQL database locally via docker.
+```sh
+docker run -p 5432:5432 -e 'POSTGRES_USER=postgres' -e 'POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres' -e 'POSTGRES_DATABASE=postgres' postgres
+```
+
+Or if you uses your own shared database server you can previously create the database.
+
+Assuming your PostgreSQL database user is called `postgres`, first authenticate as the database user with:
+
+```sh
+su - postgres
+# Or, if your system uses sudo to get administrative rights
+sudo -u postgres bash
+```
+
+Then, create a postgres user and a database with:
+```
+# this will prompt for a password for the new user
+createuser --pwprompt matrix_authentication_user
+
+createdb --owner=matrix_authentication_user matrix_authentication
+```
