## Common questions

### Does the thingsboard/tb-postgres container include a psql client?

Only what was installed by the image maintainer is available inside the container, so a psql client is not guaranteed.

### Can ThingsBoard be pointed at an external RDS PostgreSQL instead of the local tb-postgres container?

Yes, the tb-postgres image is normally local, but connection parameters in your .yml or .env files can point to RDS. Verify the host can reach RDS.

### How can I make the PostgreSQL database start automatically after reboot during a ThingsBoard edge install?

Enable the postgresql-16 service on CentOS. If it is not enabled, ThingsBoard may work at first but fail after the machine restarts.

### Does the ThingsBoard troubleshooting documentation cover OAuth2 configuration?

Yes, OAuth2 configuration is listed among common issues to diagnose and resolve.
