Installing InvoiceNinja docker container. Require separate db container?

If I’m using InvoiceNinja docker container, does it require me to install a db also such as mariadb?

Hi,

The database is defined in the dockerfile:

Oh, thanks. I usually just install using portainer, hance not familiar with it. Thanks for pointing it out.

I took a look at docker-compose, but I am not familiar with it. Is it possible to install using Portainer? Any instructions anywhere?

Maybe this video will help?

I did watch that first. He is using a separate maria DB container, which isn’t the case here, correct? It shares his nextcloud maria db with Invoice Ninja.

I believe that’s correct

Not familiar on how to have another db setup. So are you saying I will need to install a maria db container?

@david can you please advise?

This thread here may help with configuring portainer

Thank you David. I’ll read up on it. Thanks @hillel

How can we upgrade invoiceninja with a new release without lost current volume or data?

Hello, I just recently pull the latest version 5.13 as requested by the app. All the last data I did lastly (invoices, clients, design) are gone. It is now updated with the data from the state when I did the previous update (5.6). All in between are not there anymore… :((
