How to use Heimdall with MqSQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL?

[keriati]

From version 2.4.16 on, Heimdall should work with MySQL, MariaDB and PosgreSQL databases without issues.

To use MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL databases instead of sqlite add your databse details to your .env file like:

DB_CONNECTION=<mysql or pgsql>
DB_HOST=<hostname/ip>
DB_PORT=<port>
DB_DATABASE=<database>
DB_USERNAME=<username>
DB_PASSWORD=<password>

Just to add, for anyone running this in docker, because it could become confusing:

This does not need to be set as docker environment variables, but rather inside the .env file that's inside the 'www' folder wherever you mount your /config path from.

So you need to put these values into /PATH/TO/HEIMDALL/DATA/www/.env. Setting them as docker environment variables will create the tables but it will not make the application actually write stuff into the DB.
