Use MySQL ######### You can use NearBeach with MySQL. You can easily run MySQL within the same docker-compose file, or alternatively you can run it separately (external). MySQL - External Database ========================= .. note:: We recommend using an external database like AWS RDS, etc. So you can scale and backup externally to the docker container. Below is the sample code for using MySQL. Please note we do not have any of the docker database setup, as this is not required for externally run databases. .. code-block:: bash version: '3' services: nearbeach: image: robotichead/nearbeach:latest container_name: nearbeach environment: ... - DB_DATABASE=<> - DB_USER=<> - DB_PASSWORD=<> - DB_HOST=<> - DB_ENGINE=mysql - DB_PORT=<> ... You will need to fill out the following fields. These fields should match how you would log into that database. - DB_DATABASE=<> - DB_USER=<> - DB_PASSWORD=<> - DB_HOST=<> - DB_ENGINE=mysql - DB_PORT=<> MySQL - Docker Database ======================= .. note:: This will run the database within the docker environment. .. code-block:: bash version: '3' services: db: image: mysql:8.0 container_name: nearbeach-db ports: - 3306:3306 environment: - MYSQL_DATABASE=<> - MYSQL_USER=<> - MYSQL_PASSWORD=<> - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<> volumes: - ./init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d nearbeach: image: robotichead/nearbeach:latest container_name: nearbeach environment: ... The above code would be used in your docker-compose file.
