Databases

Databases are the backbone of my homelab, providing structured storage for data across various applications. I primarily use MariaDB and Postgres for their reliability and performance. These databases support everything from web applications to monitoring tools, ensuring that data is accessible and manageable. Below are the details of the databases I currently use.

MariaDB

MariaDB is my primary relational database management system. It is a fork of MySQL and offers enhanced performance and features. I use it for various applications, including web services and data analytics. Its compatibility with MySQL makes it easy to integrate into existing systems while providing additional capabilities.

Postgres

Postgres is another powerful relational database I use in my homelab. Known for its advanced features and extensibility, Postgres is ideal for complex queries and large datasets. It supports a wide range of data types and offers robust performance, making it suitable for both transactional and analytical workloads.

DBeaver

DBeaver is my go-to database management tool. It provides a unified interface for managing multiple database types, including MariaDB and Postgres. With its powerful SQL editor, data visualisation capabilities, and support for various database drivers, DBeaver makes it easy to interact with and manage my databases efficiently.
