Use external database

[wunderkopf]

🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Ability to use external database instead of installing the database server in every container

📝 Detailed description

Currently every container which has database dependency installs the database server within the container. It would be great to have the ability to setup the database connection during the container installation.

💡 Why is this useful?

It is much easier to maintain, backup and migrate the container which uses external database server.

Nope. We serve AIO Scripts. If you dont need the Database, you can remove it after install. We will not support such options and will never implement them.

The effort/benefit factor is clearly too low. Scripts should run almost automatically, so every user would still have to enter a lot of information themselves in Livebuild. Then it's wrong and everything fails. Or the database is unavailable, no rights, routing problems, etc.

Thanks for the explanation. I respect the reasoning behind it.

I just want to add that from my perspective, having a separate database instance inside every container introduces unnecessary overhead in some setups. That’s why I was exploring the possibility of an alternative approach.
But no worries — I’ll still use your Docker containers as they are. Thanks again for the clarification.
