Configuring PostgreSQL Locally for Auth0 Custom DB

Greetings, I have been reading through this article that shows how someone can start up a PostgreSQL instance and use it as a custom DB with Auth0.

Is it possible to use a local instance of PostgreSQL for a Custom DB connection to Auth0? If it is possible, what problems may I run into?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

@wisenickel5 ,

Thank you for posting this topic on the Auth0 Community!

As mentioned in this article,

"You cannot use the database in your local environment. You should make your database accessible via the internet or use tools like [Database as A Service](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/dbaas)"

Therefore I believe the answer is No. I am not sure what problems you may run into if using a local instance of PostgreSQL, this article talks about the pros/cons of installing PostgreSQL on your local computer. Hope it could be a good reference!
