Common errors - Postgres

Fix SSL and self-signed certificate errors when connecting Postgres to Whalesync by adding sslmode=no-verify to your connection string.

SSL errors while authorizing Postgres (e.g. "self-signed certificate in certificate chain")

Section titled “SSL errors while authorizing Postgres (e.g. "self-signed certificate in certificate chain")”

When encountering SSL or certificate issues, the "sslmode=no-verify" URL query parameter at the end of your connection string usually does the trick:

postgresql://postgres@hostname:5432/postgres?sslmode=no-verify

Please see authorize-postgres for more details about connection strings and URL query parameters.
