Multiple Database Support

Besides the default LeanCloud, Waline also supports a variety of databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB.

You only need to configure the environment variables of the corresponding database, and Waline will automatically switch to the corresponding data storage service.

See multi-database support for more details.

Configuration

Most configurations on the server side can be done via environment variables, and you can also configure some advanced options in the main entry file.

For configuration details, see Server Reference → Environment Variables and [Server Reference → Configuration](../../reference/server/ config.md).
