I want to install iRedMail on a remote Postgresql database, I found instructions for MYSQL. Is there an instruction for Postgresl? Is it possible to do this?

iRedMail doesn't support remote PGSQL/OpenLDAP yet, but you can modify iRedMail source code to achieve this.

I think it's too difficult for me.
Is it possible to install on a local database, transfer it to a remote one, and then specify the remote database in all configurations?

Technically, sure it's ok to do so, but again, you're on your own.
Would you mind sharing why you prefer a remote PGSQL server?

Could you please indicate in which files the database settings are specified?

I have a separate server for the database, and all my services use the pgsgl database, and I would not like to install another local database or use a remote mysql database
