title: Getting a GeoServer talking to an AWS RDS?
body: <p>I have an issue that's killing me. I have an AWS account and am hosting a GeoServer instance up there within a Docker container, launched through a docker-compose file. It works perfectly fine. I also have a PostgreSQL RDS instance up there. As far as I can tell, it's working fine. Getting them to communicate, that's been my problem.</p>
  
  <p>My issue is that everything I've found indicates that GeoServer utilizes only PostSQL natively, and PostgreSQL not at all. AWS doesn't give the option to create a PostSQL RDS but, as it's an extension of PostgreSQL, this avenue seems the simplest to pursue.</p>
  
  <p>So my challenge is to find a way for my dockerized GeoServer application to communicate with the RDS, and I'm leaning in the direction of incorporating the PostSQL extension into my docker-compose file. But this is all well over my head, as I've only begun learning these things recently, and it's specific enough that Google has hardly been a help at all. Can anyone give me some guidance with this endeavor?</p>
