Run coder using docker-compose with mariadb as database

I would like to run a coder instance with mariadb as database instead of postgresql, due to reliability reasons. From my experience with hosting docker instances and maintaining them, i notice that my postgresql database instances are more prone to crashes causing unrecoverable dataloss. Is there a guide available or even the possibility to host coder without postgres?

This is the template file im currently using. From my knowledge the documentation doesn't include a guide to use a different database then postresql

Coder only works with PostgresDB for now.

hi @AsP3X, as Atif mentioned, Coder only works with PostgreSQL at the moment, I think you should try to investigate storage/RAM stability to see if that's what causes the crashes maybe also try using a PostgreSQL-compliant db or something like that if possible
