Next, we need a database and a database user. We can create these with any kind of database managing tool or directly on
our database's shell, e.g. for MySQL::
our database's shell. For PostgreSQL, we would do::
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE pretix DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pretix.* TO pretix@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '*********';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
# sudo -u postgres createuser -P pretix
# sudo -u postgres createdb -O pretix pretix
Replace the asterisks with a password of your own. For MySQL, we will use a unix domain socket to connect to the
database. For PostgreSQL, be sure to configure the interface binding and your firewall so that the docker container
can reach PostgreSQL.
Make sure that your database listens on the network. If PostgreSQL on the same same host as docker, but not inside a docker container, we recommend that you just listen on the Docker interface by changing the following line in ``/etc/postgresql/<version>/main/postgresql.conf``::
listen_addresses = 'localhost,172.17.0.1'
You also need to add a new line to ``/etc/postgresql/<version>/main/pg_hba.conf`` to allow network connections to this user and database::
host pretix pretix 172.17.0.1/16 md5
Restart PostgreSQL after you changed these files::
# systemctl restart postgresql
If you have a firewall running, you should also make sure that port 5432 is reachable from the ``172.17.0.1/16`` subnet.
For MySQL, you can either also use network-based connections or mount the ``/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock`` socket into the docker container.
When using MySQL, make sure you set the character set of the database to ``utf8mb4``, e.g. like this::
mysql > CREATE DATABASE pretix DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
