It would be awesome if gamevault could support MariaDB

[MichelM279]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would love if gamevault could support MariaDB.
It's not a problem per se, but I have a personal preference for MariaDB, as I have one setup with auto backups, access mgmt, etc.. And if I setup a postgres container, I'd have to jump through all those hoops again to get the container to as high quality as my MariaDB.
I'm hoping to find similar-minded people who also would like MariaDB. If I am alone in this request, I'll kindly accept that gamevault stays on one DB.

Describe the solution you'd like
Be able to use MariaDB, knowing that it will be included in tests, etc. to work today and in the future.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Setting up postgres :)

I get your point, but even though our ORM, TypeORM, seamlessly integrates with MariaDB, managing an additional set of database migrations seems like a significant challenge to me. I'd only consider it if there's a strong demand from the community, because, i would need to write/generate migrations and test them thrice.

I fully respect that

Thank you for understanding. Perhaps we will revisit this in the future.

However, with your particular use case, it is generally a better idea to have separate databases for each application that you self-host. This approach helps prevent one application from inadvertently affecting or damaging another when restoring backups or performing similar critical operations.
