Officially supported DB versions

[cupcakearmy]

Hi there,

I wanted to ask what are the officially supported DBs and versions.
https://github.com/monicahq/monica/blob/0ae575f4a5b8571e0042ca8553e3948e23019687/docs/installation/readme.md

In the readme only mysql is specified, but in the official debian install guide maria is used. No versions are specified.
Is there an official list of supported versions?

Thanks!

I saw that the docs say mysql/mariadb is the only one currently supported but there is an .env file for postgres available under scripts/ci so it at least tests for other dbs but your mileage may vary. If postgres does successfully work, I’ll be surprised and would definitely add Monica to my apps.

We currently support

• mysql > 5.7
• mysql > 8
• mariadb - but I don't know what version

May I ask why MySQL 5.6 is the preferred way for docker instead of MySQL 8>?
