Scoutline utilizes a local PostgreSQL-compatible database to manage firm metadata, case structures, and audit logs. We recommend PostgreSQL 15+ with the pg_vector extension for best performance with agentic features.

​
Internal vs. External Database

  • Internal (Default): The sc-db container runs a pre-configured instance in your Docker stack.
  • External: Point the DATABASE_URL in your .env file to your firm’s existing managed database cluster (e.g., local RDS or on-premise PostgreSQL).

​
Schema Migrations

Migrations are handled automatically by the Scoutline Bootstrap service during startup. 
docker run --rm scoutline/bootstrap:latest migrate
