## Introduction ## Introduction
There are a lot of ways to host a Resolve project server, but each of them has their own set of issues. There are a lot of ways to host a Resolve project server, but each of them has their own set of issues.

## Different Postgres versions ## The Different PostgreSQL versions
Generally, Resolve is most compatible with the latest Postgres 9.5 version (9.5.25 as of writing). The Windows version of Resolve uses 9.5.4, and the Mac version uses 9.5.19. Version 9.5 is EOL, and 9.5.4 in particular has a lot of vulnerabilities that make it insecure. Since most people are still using the default credentials (postgres:DaVinci) for their server, security generally isn't the biggest issue, but if you are trying to secure your project server, you will want to move to a supported version of Postgres. Generally, Resolve is not very tolerant of mismatched PostgreSQL verions. The Windows version of Resolve installs 9.5.4, and the Mac version installs 9.5.19. Unfortunately version 9.5 is EOL, and 9.5.4 in particular has a lot of vulnerabilities that make it insecure. Since most people are still using the default Resolve credentials for their server, security generally isn't the biggest concern, but if you are trying to secure your project server, you will want to move to a supported version of PostgreSQL.
Resolve still uses a legacy feature that has been removed in Postgres 12, so the latest major version that is useable is 11, which will be maintained until November 9, 2023.

### Using PostgreSQL 11 on Windows
1. **Uninstall PostgreSQL 9.5.4** - In your Windows application settings find PostgreSQL 9.5.4 and uninstall it.
2. **Download PostgreSQL 11** - Download the latest Windows version of PostgreSQL 11 from [the EDB Downloads Page](https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads) and install it.
3. **Link Resolve to the new version** - Open Resolve, and connect to/open a PostgreSQL database. Start to run a database command (optimize, backup, restore) and Resolve will ask you to point it to PostgreSQL bin folder. This is inside the folder you picked in the PostgreSQL 11 installation, likely "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin"
### Using PostgreSQL on Mac
Unfortunately, Resolve on a Mac doesn't have a way to point to a different version of PostgreSQL. You can still connect to a PostgreSQL 11 server from a Mac, you just won't be able to optimize, backup, or restore your database.
