🐛 [Nextcloud] Can't use MariaDB when self hosting it

[zagi988]

Description

I'm trying to set a "database host" to my own MariaDB server but I can't because it is not reachable from the addon. Is there a way to fix that?

Reproduction steps

Start the addon and try to set it up using your own MariaDB server, not the addon.

Hi, you should be able to set your own ENV variables using this method : https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add%E2%80%90ons-feature-:-add-env-variables

Ok, but what ENV variable would I set to reach MariaDB which is reachable either over socket or over IP:port?

Sorry actually I was wrong. When you initially set-up nextcloud, there is a setup wizard. That's where you define the external mariadb values. For example, the addon does not configures automatically the addon mariadb but just provides the informations to add in this form.

You can't enter any external IP because docker doesn't give it access to local network. It should need local network access so I could map like 192.168.1.4 for db host address.

From a container in HA you can access any external url. Docker doesn't give access to entering requests (only to expose ports) but outgoing requests are fine.
