# H2

To use a H2 with your Terrakube deployment create a terrakube.yaml file with the following content:INT

```yaml
## Terrakube API properties
api:
  defaultDatabase: false
  loadSampleData: true
  properties:
    databaseType: "H2"
    databaseHostname: ""
    databaseName: ""
    databaseUser: ""
    databasePassword: ""

```

{% hint style="danger" %}
H2 database is just for testing, each time the api pod is restarted a new database will be created
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
loadSampleData this will add some organization, workspaces and modules by default in your database, keep databaseHostname, databaseName, databaseUser and databasePassword empty
{% endhint %}

Now you can install terrakube using the command.

```bash
helm install --values terrakube.yaml terrakube terrakube-repo/terrakube -n terrakube
```
