Weblate 4 with PostgresSQL database

Description:
Hello!

I would like to install weblate and reviewing the documentation of version 4 and I read:

"If you are running Weblate on other dabatase than PostgreSQL, you should migrate to PostgreSQL as that will be the only supported database backend in the 4.0 release. The following steps will guide you in migrating your data between the databases. Please remember to stop both web and Celery servers prior to the migration, otherwise you might end up with inconsistent data."

Bitnami provide weblate with MySQL, Do you plan to update the installation to postgresql?

Thanks
Best regards

Hi @aviciosa,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. We will consider the possibility of providing a package that bundles PostgreSQL based on the information you posted here.

Thanks!!
Regards
Raquel

Hi, @aviciosa.

Thank you very much for reaching us. I've created a task in our backlog to evaluate this. In the meantime, please note that in the end Weblate 4.0 was released and MySQL support wasn't dropped, so probably that documentation bit is outdated. You can read more on this here: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues/2825

Regards,
Alejandro

Thanks for the reply and consider my proposal. It is true that MySQL is still supported and the documentation may be obsolete, but it is possible that it is their intention some time.

I was waiting for version 4 in case they changed the database but it will be necessary to continue with MySQL then.

Thank you
A greeting.
