Last time (Nov 2024) i installed Frappe 15 using docker MariaDB and encountered problems with PostgreSQL even though docs provided option to support PG version in deployment. GitHub issues also mentioned that PG deployment has bugs.
Has those been fixed in the newer releases? Is there any plan to fix those errors?
It was recently announced that Postgres will not be happening now.
There are definitely still bugs/gaps in v15.
All righty @brian_pond. I dont see any shortcomings in MariaDB per say, only wanted to use a hosted MariaDB that has the automatic backups. Popular cloud providers dont provide hosted MariaDB support. Relying on manual backups is not effective.
For hosting, I’ve been using https://cloud.digitalocean.com. Not sure what geography you’re in, but you may be able to use them (they don’t have datacenters in South America, Africa, or Southwest Asia unfortunately)
Hosing the app can be done in any cloud provider. I was looking for a MariaDB cloud database provider which unfortunately is not there. Dont know if the MySQL cloud database can be used in place of MariaDB for the deployment. Cloud database is easier for data backup and ETL.
The only DBaaS that works is AWS RDS mariadb. Using Frappe with Amazon RDS (or any other DBaaS) · frappe/frappe Wiki · GitHub
Others, if you find please share.
You are correct, I misspoke. For cloud-managed, Digital Ocean does not offer MariaDB.
