nginx and MariaDB

I started with Apache, but early-on ran into something with it and PHP that had me look into nginx, and I preferred how it handled it separately with CGI and switched. nginx + MariaDB set-ups transfer easy Windows, Linux various distros, and FreeBSD even with freenginx!

I'm used to MySQL and have my core stuff down, so something new needing Postgresql would have to be really interesting :p (iirc Mastodon used it but their stack was way outside my usual)
 
apache and postgreSQL, but postgres wasn't an option. For Apache I mostly generate content on the fly using python or perl...for internal apps. I have nothing exposed to the net.
 
sshd.
And my rpi4 runs a Fossil server to backup important things.
 
Huh, whut? Postgresql was started as a free version of Ingres, which dates back to the '70s. Its first version was released in 1989, a good four years before the first release of Debian.
Call me a sicko masocist but I sometimes miss Ingres. That was the first enterprise DB that I ever worked seriously with in the early 90s. The boss man said we'd use it because the license was "free" with our ultrix workstations, but he missed the part where the free license was temporary and was kind of steamed when we'd done all this work and when the license expired we had to start paying to use it. LOL.

I like PostrgreSQL these days. It is stable, relatively powerful for my DB sizes, and as far as FOSS projects go, I give them kudos of being one of the most professionally run projects. They know what they are doing, are helpful, and seem to be "quality driven" as opposed to "feature driven".

Both PostgreSQL and SQLite have good reputations, for building fine software. The opposite is true for the MySQL / MariaDB line. Since I don't need a full-features database at home, I use SQLite.
 
Why isn't mariadb good ?
I've switched between MariaDB and MySQL across OSs for a while no problem; a project I use had some discussion about dropping MariaDB support in-favor of newer MySQL: https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/pull/29960

I'm not entirely sure on the specifics, but I still use MariaDB with it today fine :p I don't have any technical reasons for one or the other, but prefer MariaDB's more-open stance, and their Windows installer is easier to get.
