I see some old posts in regards to being a documented path to running Seafile on Postgres. Did this get dropped? is it another undocumented thing… I would be overjoyed if I could get rid if the Mysql/Mariah stuff and run it on my real database server. Is there known features in Mysql that wouldn’t work on Postgresql or just needs django connection and tables mapped?
Anyone know - save me some time would be appreciated for sure.
Kind Regards,
Andrew
Postgres support was dropped in Seafile 7.1.
May I ask why drop PostgresSQL support?
By focusing on one database type, we save our energy and can put more time on user level features.
Why not prioritize Postgres?
Yeah it seems pretty clear that the de facto standard for self-hosted setups is PostgreSQL. And of course it would make life easier for operators to have as many services using the same database for easier management, replication, etc. So it would make sense to drop MariaDB in favor of PostgreSQL
