The external RDBMS discussion - Duvel - 2025-02-26
Hi
Didn't find a dedicated discussion on the forum for this long-time demanded feature so I am launching this one
Where it started
- 2018 Github discussion https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/42
- 2019 Feature request https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/315/mysql-server-back-end
Where we are (might have missed something)
- 2024 Refactor library.db into jellyfin.db and EFCore : https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/12798
- 2025 Add Postgres SQL support https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/13451
- 2025 [Feature] Database code refactor : https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/13589
Looks like things are on the good path but unless I missed an announcement or forum thread, we dont have much official info about it.
Would the team gladly share extensive info about how things are going, which RDBMS will be compatible (I only see postgress on the work, what about mariadb/mysql???), and why not a roadmap ?
Lets destroy SQLite :-)
Cheers
