MySQL Database

  1. Install and run MySQL using your preferred method.

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

    1
2
3
4
5
6
    [client]
database = conreq
user = db_username
password = db_password
host = 192.168.86.200
default-character-set = utf8

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

  3. Set your DB_ENGINE variable to MYSQL and your MYSQL_CONFIG_FILE variable to the path to your mysql.cnf file.

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