Using Existing Database

This guide explains how to use the Moodle development environment with an existing MariaDB database instead of the Docker-based database.

Configuration

Environment Variables

Configure your database credentials in the .env file:

# Database configuration for existing MariaDB
_DB_ROOT_PW=your_root_password
_DB_MOODLE_USER=moodle_user
_DB_MOODLE_PW=moodle_password
_DB_MOODLE_NAME=moodle_database

Command Line Parameters

All scripts support the following parameters for database configuration:

  • --skip-docker or -s: Skip Docker setup and use existing database
  • --dbhost HOST or -d HOST: Database host (default: 127.0.0.1)
  • --dbport PORT or -p PORT: Database port (default: 3312 for Docker, 3306 for everything else)

Usage Examples: Setup with Remote MariaDB

# Use remote MariaDB server
./setup.sh --skip-docker --dbhost 192.168.1.100

# Use remote MariaDB with custom port
./setup.sh --skip-docker --dbhost 192.168.1.100 --dbport 3307

Database Setup

Note: Database setup instructions will be added to this section in the future.
