Support for MariaDB as back end Database #179

Closed Snille closed 4 years ago

Snille commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No problem really, just a nice to have feature, it would be nice to be able to use MariaDB as a back end database. I have other systems using my "House-database" that I have on a "database-server". Would be nice to be able to utilize that database for Filament as well.

Describe the solution you'd like Just a way to select MariaDB as a back end database.

Describe alternatives you've considered I was thinking of installing an instance of PostgreSQL on my database server, but rather not.

Additional context For the moment I have two Octoprint instances that utilizes the PostgreSQL on the local Raspberry. But I'm afraid that I'll lose the data if the Pi SD-Card crashes for example. I would rather have the "data" on a safe server. :)

Thank you!

The reason that there is no support for MySQL/MariaDB is that these database systems doesn't have a notification mechanism. There is a request for this on the MariaDB tracker.

Ah, I see. Thank you for letting me know. I'll be installing a postgresql along side my Maria then. :) It's not a huge problem, just have to remember to backup them both. :)
