# Summary: Multi-Database Configuration with Presets ## ✅ Feature Implemented! **Yes!** The `database.xml` configuration file now includes **preset configurations** for both SQLite and PostgreSQL, making it easy to switch between database providers. ## 🎯 What Was Added ### 1. Preset Configurations in database.xml The configuration file now includes a `` section with example configurations for: - **SQLite** (default) - Single-file database - **PostgreSQL-Local** - PostgreSQL on localhost ### 2. New Configuration Classes **PresetDatabaseConfiguration.cs** - Stores template database configurations ```csharp public class PresetDatabaseConfiguration { public string? DatabaseType { get; set; } public CustomDatabaseOptions? CustomProviderOptions { get; set; } public DatabaseLockingBehaviorTypes LockingBehavior { get; set; } public string? Description { get; set; } } ``` **Updated DatabaseConfigurationOptions.cs** - Added PresetConfigurations property ```csharp public Dictionary? PresetConfigurations { get; set; } ``` ## 📄 Configuration File Structure The `database.xml` file now looks like this: ```xml Jellyfin-SQLite NoLock SQLite Jellyfin-SQLite Default SQLite database PostgreSQL-Local Jellyfin-PostgreSQL PostgreSQL on localhost ``` ## 🔄 How to Switch Databases ### Step 1: Stop Jellyfin ```bash sudo systemctl stop jellyfin ``` ### Step 2: Edit database.xml **To use SQLite:** ```xml Jellyfin-SQLite ``` **To use PostgreSQL:** ```xml Jellyfin-PostgreSQL Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Postgres Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Postgres.dll host localhost database jellyfin username jellyfin password your_password ``` ### Step 3: Start Jellyfin ```bash sudo systemctl start jellyfin ``` ## 📍 Configuration File Location - **Linux**: `/etc/jellyfin/database.xml` or `~/.config/jellyfin/database.xml` - **Windows**: `%ProgramData%\Jellyfin\config\database.xml` - **Docker**: `/config/database.xml` (in your config volume) ## 💡 Key Benefits 1. **✅ No need to remember syntax** - Examples are right in the file 2. **✅ Quick reference** - See all available options at a glance 3. **✅ Easy switching** - Just change one line and add credentials 4. **✅ Self-documenting** - Descriptions explain what each preset does 5. **✅ No separate documentation needed** - Everything in one place ## 🗂️ Files Modified ### Created: 1. **src/Jellyfin.Database/Jellyfin.Database.Implementations/DbConfiguration/PresetDatabaseConfiguration.cs** - New class to store preset configurations 2. **database.xml.example** - Complete example configuration file with comments 3. **DATABASE_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md** - Comprehensive guide for database configuration ### Modified: 1. **src/Jellyfin.Database/Jellyfin.Database.Implementations/DbConfiguration/DatabaseConfigurationOptions.cs** - Added PresetConfigurations property 2. **Jellyfin.Server.Implementations/Extensions/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs** - Added default preset creation on first startup ## 📋 Example Presets Included ### SQLite Preset ```xml SQLite Jellyfin-SQLite NoLock Default SQLite database configuration. Database stored in data directory. ``` ### PostgreSQL Preset ```xml PostgreSQL-Local Jellyfin-PostgreSQL NoLock PostgreSQL database on localhost. Update Options with your database credentials. ``` ## 🚀 Usage Workflow 1. **First Startup**: database.xml is created with SQLite active and presets included 2. **View Presets**: Open database.xml to see available configurations 3. **Switch Database**: - Change `` to desired provider - Add/update `` if using PostgreSQL - Restart Jellyfin 4. **Done**: Jellyfin now uses the new database ## 🎨 Advanced Customization You can add your own presets to the configuration file: ```xml PostgreSQL-Production Jellyfin-PostgreSQL Optimistic PostgreSQL production server with optimistic locking ``` ## ⚠️ Important Notes 1. **Presets are templates only** - They don't activate automatically 2. **Copy settings to active configuration** to use them 3. **Stop Jellyfin before editing** database.xml 4. **Protect the file** - It may contain passwords 5. **Backup before changing** database types ## 🔒 Security ```bash # Protect database.xml chmod 600 /etc/jellyfin/database.xml chown jellyfin:jellyfin /etc/jellyfin/database.xml ``` ## 🏗️ Build Status ✅ **Build Successful** ✅ **No Breaking Changes** ✅ **Backward Compatible** ✅ **Comprehensive Documentation** ## 📚 Documentation Created comprehensive guides: 1. **DATABASE_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md** - Complete configuration reference 2. **database.xml.example** - Annotated example file 3. **This summary** - Quick reference --- **Your database.xml file now includes preset configurations for easy switching between SQLite and PostgreSQL!** 🎉 Just edit one line (``) and optionally add PostgreSQL credentials to switch databases. No need to remember complex configuration syntax - it's all right there in the file!
