Mysql

Hi there 👋

I’m looking into deploying the CISO Assistant Community platform and wanted to ask: does the project support using MySQL or MariaDB as the backend database?

If not officially supported, is it possible to configure it to work with either of them? Just wondering if anyone’s tried it, or if there are any caveats I should know about.

Appreciate any info you can share — thanks in advance!

Hello @sandeepkrc ,
Thanks for reaching out. The backend relies on django, which supports natively MySql/Maria as stated on the documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/databases/
With minor adjustments on the env variables you should be able to get it working.
Right now, we are pretty stacked with some new features and fixes so we cannot commit to support it as it will imply testing on our end, but you can definitely initiate that on a PR for instance and we'll support you :)
Regards,

Hi @ab-smith ,

Thanks for the response!

There was indeed an issue during migrations which was causing the problem. I’ve identified the root cause and managed to fix it myself. Everything is now working fine on my local setup.

Appreciate your guidance — and totally understand the current bandwidth constraints. If I come up with any useful enhancements, I’ll definitely consider raising a PR.

Thanks again! 😊
