+#### Global PostgreSQL defaults
+
+The Registry Server reads its database host, port, and SSL mode from
+`global.postgres` when its own
+`toolhive-registry-server.upstream.config.database.host` is empty. This is the
+same pattern as `global.redis` above, intended for umbrella deployments that
+share a PostgreSQL instance across several backing services. The block is
+optional: when `global.postgres.host` is empty, the default is inactive and each
+subchart uses its own `config.database` block.
+
+```yaml title="values.yaml (global PostgreSQL addition)"
+global:
+  postgres:
+    # When empty, the global default is inactive.
+    host: 'postgres.example.com'
+    port: 5432
+    sslMode: 'require'
+```
+
+Only `host`, `port`, and `sslMode` are inherited from the global block. The
+database user, database name, and credentials still go under the subchart's own
+`config.database` block (and `extraEnv` for the password Secret reference, as
+the example above shows). A locally set
+`toolhive-registry-server.upstream.config.database.host` always wins over
+`global.postgres.host`.

+### Share a database host across subcharts
+
+When the Registry Server chart runs as a subchart of an umbrella chart whose
+bundled services share a single PostgreSQL instance, you can set the database
+host once at the umbrella level under `global.postgres` instead of repeating it
+per subchart. This is a standard Helm `global.*` mechanism, so any umbrella
+chart can use it:
+
+```yaml title="values.yaml (umbrella excerpt)"
+global:
+  postgres:
+    host: 'postgres.example.com'
+    port: 5432
+    sslMode: 'require'
+```
+
+When `config.database.host` on the Registry Server subchart is empty, the chart
+falls back to `global.postgres.{host,port,sslMode}` (port defaults to `5432`). A
+locally set `config.database.host` always wins, so per-subchart overrides keep
+working. Only `host`, `port`, and `sslMode` are inherited. The `user`,
+`database`, and credentials still go in the subchart's own `config.database`
+block.
+
+:::enterprise
+
+If you run the full Stacklok Enterprise platform, its canonical umbrella chart
+already wires up `global.postgres`, so you set the shared database host once at
+the umbrella level rather than per subchart. See the
+[platform-wide PostgreSQL defaults](../../platform/enterprise-platform/deployment.mdx#global-postgresql-defaults)
+for the credential Secrets and the other components that read `global.postgres`.
