db: Service Options

The default stack uses MySQL for the db service while the pantheon stack uses MariaDB. Docksal has also defined PostreSQL as a db service option. You do not have to make any configuration changes to use MySQL, but if you want to specify the use of MariaDB or PostreSQL, you will need to modify your docksal.yml file.

MariaDB Configuration

Docksal has defined a db service with a MariaDB image. To set your db service to use MariaDB instead of MySQL, set the db service in your docksal.yml file.

version: "2.1"
services:
  db:
    extends:
      file: ${HOME}/.docksal/stacks/services.yml
      service: mariadb

PostreSQL Configuration

Docksal has defined a db service with a PostreSQL image. To set your db service to use PostreSQL instead of MySQL, set the db service in your docksal.yml file.

version: "2.1"
services:
  db:
    extends:
      file: ${HOME}/.docksal/stacks/services.yml
      service: pgsql

Remember to run fin project start (fin p start) to apply the configuration.
