You may create your own database by obtaining a protein dataset in fasta format. You will need to create a diamond database, and this can be done using the following commands.

bash:~$ module load diamond
bash:~$ diamond makedb --in nr.faa -d nr

where nr.faa here is a protein fasta file.

Copy the resultant .dmnd file to the kegg/ directory.

Update the json config file and update the .DB variable to be the database you wish to align against

"metaGenPipe.DB": "kegg/kegg.dmnd",
