You need to add Your Database settings to application.properties, because You are using Spring-Data-JPA,
for example:

# JPA (JpaBaseConfiguration, HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration)
spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-mode=default # Bootstrap mode for JPA repositories.
spring.data.jpa.repositories.enabled=true # Whether to enable JPA repositories.
spring.jpa.database= # Target database to operate on, auto-detected by default. Can be alternatively set using the "databasePlatform" property.
spring.jpa.database-platform= # Name of the target database to operate on, auto-detected by default. Can be alternatively set using the "Database" enum.
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=false # Whether to initialize the schema on startup.
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto= # DDL mode. This is actually a shortcut for the "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" property. Defaults to "create-drop" when using an embedded database and no schema manager was detected. Otherwise, defaults to "none".
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.implicit-strategy= # Fully qualified name of the implicit naming strategy.
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy= # Fully qualified name of the physical naming strategy.
spring.jpa.hibernate.use-new-id-generator-mappings= # Whether to use Hibernate's newer IdentifierGenerator for AUTO, TABLE and SEQUENCE.
spring.jpa.mapping-resources= # Mapping resources (equivalent to "mapping-file" entries in persistence.xml).
spring.jpa.open-in-view=true # Register OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor. Binds a JPA EntityManager to the thread for the entire processing of the request.
spring.jpa.properties.*= # Additional native properties to set on the JPA provider.
spring.jpa.show-sql=false # Whether to enable logging of SQL statements.

Set database, database-platform, or just delete spring-data-jpa from your pom.xml
