Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz/115095096413238457 what database its users are running. Interestingly one fifth replied they don't know. Should people know better where their data is stored, or is it a good thing everything is running so smoothly people don't need to know what their software stack is built upon?
...How come so few people are using SQLite?
Probably also most of those who don't know. SQLite is the default option if you don't set up a database server.
Those who don't know may be using Nextcloud AIO, which is bundled with Postgres.
Idk, I explicitly set up Postgres, which took extra work since the default is SQLite. I use Postgres for my day job, so it makes sense to me to keep everything the same.
That's quite senseful yes. In the cases where I want to host somewhere that already has a Postgres service going, I just up and use that.
