Using Ombi with an External DB

The other day the SQLITE database in my Ombi setup got locked out, which seems to be a somewhat common occurrence. And because I wasn’t paying attention to where I had initially stored my database I wasn’t able to do a proper database migration According to the docs it’s pretty straight forward. I copied the database.json config below from Alternate Database Options and pointed the internal config to the file I created.

{
  "OmbiDatabase": {
    "Type": "MySQL",
    "ConnectionString": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=Ombi;User=ombi;Password=ombi"
  },
  "SettingsDatabase": {
    "Type": "MySQL",
    "ConnectionString": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=Ombi;User=ombi;Password=ombi"
  },
  "ExternalDatabase": {
    "Type": "MySQL",
    "ConnectionString": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=Ombi;User=ombi;Password=ombi"
  }
}

version: '3.1'
services:
  ombi:
    image: linuxserver/ombi:development
    network_mode: host
    container_name: 'ombi'
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
      #- BASE_URL=/ombi #optional
    volumes:
      - ./data:/config
      - ./data/mariadb/database.json:/config/database.json
    ports:
      - "3579:3579"
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on: mariadb
  
  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:latest
    container_name: ombi-mariadb
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data/mariadb:/config
    ports:
      - '3306:3306'
    env_file: ./data/mariadb/maria_envs.env

MariaDB Envs:

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD = PASSWORD
MYSQL_DATABASE=Ombi
MYSQL_USER=ombi
MYSQL_PASSWORD=ombi
PGID=1000
PUID=1000
TZ=America/New_York

After bringing up the stack I continued executing the Single Database Permissions listed in the steps.

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `Ombi` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin;
CREATE USER 'ombi'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'ombi';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `Ombi`.* TO 'ombi'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

After this I had a nice new clean install of Ombi using MariaDB.
