Doesn't Forgejo support SQLite as a backend?
To be honest I don't remember why I set up gitea with MySQL instead of sqlite (or MariaDB), its quite a few years ago. And sqlite would probably be fine for my single-user instance
Yes, although MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL are the more robust options.
If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.
Then again, it's 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.
Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn't have and won't ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.
(Coming from a SQLite fan.)
