MySQL Database

1. Set up a MySQL database (ex. a MySQL Docker)

2. Create a file within your Conreq data directory create a MySQL configuration file (ex. mysql.cnf). At minimum you must include the following...

   [client]
   database = conreq
   user = db_username
   password = db_password
   host = 192.168.86.200
   default-character-set = utf8
   

   Take a look at MySQL's cnf docs for all available parameters.

3. Set your DB_ENGINE variable to MYSQL and your MYSQL_CONFIG_FILE variable to the path to your cnf file (ex. /config/mysql.cnf).

   If using Unraid/Docker, add this as a Docker variable. Otherwise, search "How to set environment variables in ... Windows 10"
