📝 Describe your problem

I would like to use external mariadb instead of sqlite. I think this is supported but cannot find working examples. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I tried setting UPTIME_KUMA_DB_* environment variables in docker-compose.yml to connect to a mariadb server:

services:
  uptime-kuma:
    image: louislam/uptime-kuma:1.23.11-debian
    container_name: uptime-kuma
    ports:
      - 3001:3001
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_TYPE: mariadb
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_HOSTNAME: db
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_PORT: 3306
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_USERNAME: kumauser
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_PASSWORD: kumapass
      UPTIME_KUMA_DB_NAME: kumadb
      UPTIME_KUMA_IN_CONTAINER: "true"

  db:
    image: mariadb
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin
      MYSQL_DATABASE: kumadb
      MYSQL_USER: kumauser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: kumapass
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"

based on https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/server/setup-database.js#L71-L81

But uptime-kuma still seems to use sqlite

[DB] INFO: Data Dir: ./data/
[DB] INFO: SQLite Version: 3.41.1

This env var
UPTIME_KUMA_ENABLE_EMBEDDED_MARIADB (2.0.0) Set 1 to enable
is mentioned in the docs https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/Environment-Variables

but it is not clear to me how to use it. I would prefer to use external mariadb but at this point I'm looking for guidance on if/how I can use mariadb in any way.

Thanks in advance!
