Hi,

I am trying to host Vikunja but there is something that I am missing: from the full instructions it seems like I need to run a specific db container for mariaDB but I already have an existing one hwere I handle all my databases.

What would be the right way to make sure Vilkunja connects to that container (I am using docker-compose)?

The usual way of running this with docker compose would be to have a seperate database container just for Vikunja, in the same docker compose configuration.

Is your mysql running on the docker host? Then you should be able to communicate from inside the docker container by using the host ip as db host - take a look at this stackoverflow question about how to achieve this.

If you run the database in a docker container somewhere, you will need to put the database and Vikunja container in the same docker network. Take a look at the docker-compose docs about that.

Again, usually you just run a db container along with the app container.
