Connect postgresql database on the private NAS server and the powerbi
Mostly correct. The "on server" part needs qualification. You can install the gateway on any on-prem machine but usually it is installed on a dedicated VM in the on-prem cloud.
local = on-prem
- install Power BI Desktop (can be on your PC)
- go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin\ADO.NET Providers
- grab the Npgsql.config file and the Npgsql folder
- on the machine where you installed the gateway go to C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway\m\ADO.NET Providers
- paste the file and folder there
- restart the gateway service

I did everything from the very beginning according to your instructions. I connected powerbi desktop to local postgre database 192.168.0.127:5678, loaded the data, saved and published.It says I don't need a gateway because the database is in the cloud and not locally. Any ideas on how to change this?
