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?
Not sure I understand... Can the type of database be customised during nextcloud installation? If not, then more than 37% gave a wrong answer, which is worse than the 18%?
MariaDB, only know that because I tried to install ampache (got it to work, hated it).
The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it's sqlite, but ain't afraid to admit it!
Honestly I'm not sure I'd know Immich used Postgres if it didn't outright say so
Where's the MySQL option? Some of my servers are running MySQL instead of MariaDB because it allowed binding to multiple IP addresses (although I think Maria has implemented this now), and some query plan optimizations were implemented in MySQL but not MariaDB.
