About the database

Overview

The database software chosen for this project is MariaDB. We leveraged the MariaDB package on the Synology NAS server to build a database local to the server environment. As such, all data is hosted there, and can be accessed through the NAS terminal. For details on this, see the Configuring the Database section of the GitHub readme.

Managing the database

The process of how to connect to, modify, migrate, backup, or restore the database is outlined in detail in the GitHub readme. Make sure to go through all the steps to understand the handling process well.
