Database

ProtonAuctions is in public beta. See Beta Phase for what is stable and what is still maturing.

Everything the auction house remembers, your listings, bids, sales, and claims, lives in a database. ProtonAuctions supports four, and picking the right one is mostly about whether you run one server or several.

• SQLite is the default. It needs no setup at all, but it lives on one machine and cannot be shared.
• MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL are full database servers that several servers can share, which is what a network needs.

All of them are configured in the database block of config.yml. The pages below give the exact settings for each.

SQLite

The zero-setup default, for a single server.

MySQL

The usual choice for sharing across servers.

MariaDB

A drop-in for MySQL, set up the same way.

PostgreSQL

A full-server alternative if you already run it.
