persistence.yml
Every setting of persistence.yml.
persistence.yml chooses the database that stores accounts and sets up the connection to it. Database explains the choice, upgrades and sharing a database between proxies.
The database is opened on startup: changes take effect on the next start. A database that cannot be reached stops the startup.
Takes"SQLITE", "H2", "MYSQL", or "POSTGRES"
Default"SQLITE"
Affectswhich database stores the accounts
Values are case-sensitive. Identica uses SQLite when the file does not set type. Any other value stops the startup with an error that names the accepted values, and the file is left as it is, so Identica never runs on a database the file did not ask for.
"MYSQL" works with MySQL 8.0.19 or newer and with MariaDB.
Fields of each type
Each type has fields of its own. After changing type, start the proxy once so Identica writes the new type's fields, then fill them in.
Takesa file name or relative path
Default"identica.db"
Affectsthe SQLite file, relative to the data directory
A blank value uses identica.db.
