I’m pretty new to the self hosting thing but I’m enjoying it a lot and want to go a bit further down the proverbial rabbit hole.
I’m looking at a bunch of services and they all require a DB, usually a MySQL DB. It seems counterintutitive to have 20 MySQL databases each in its own Docker container. So is there a way to have one DB across most of my services? (I realize that Nextcloud and other bigger items should have a dedicted DB.)
How would I set up a shared DB in a docker-compose file?
Im using one mariadb (lsio) for multiple services, but I wouldnt do it like that if I started over. I just didnt see recommendations on time 😄, but no issues so far.
You can install phpmyadmin (also docker) for db management with nice gui. You can open existing db or create new one quite easy
