    The public server uses a MariaDB SQL database and development is usually done using a single-user sqlite database which is a standard Django option.

    -You will find it very, very useful to see what is going on if you look directly at the data in the database (just a single file in the sqlite case) and browse the data in the tables. This is vital when doing Django migrations between Django versions. A light-weight, simple db browser is DB Browser for SQLite. Connecting directly the the MariaDB database with a control panel or workbench gives even more tools and documentation capabilities.

    When Ubuntu is running on WSL, it does not use systemctl. So you need specific instructions for installing MariaDB under WSL, +see +

    +

    Create a new dedicated administrative MariaDB user 'expo' who can access all databases. Log in to the MariaDB command with +

    sudo mysql
+
    +and execute these commands: +
    +GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* TO 'expo'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-secret-password-schwatzmooskogel' WITH GRANT OPTION;
+SET PASSWORD FOR expo=PASSWORD('my-secret-password-schwatzmooskogel');
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+QUIT;
+
    +and you will need to set this user and password in your localsettings.py: +
    +DATABASE = {
+    'default': { 
+        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
+        'NAME' : 'troggle',                   # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
+        'USER' : 'expo',                      
+        'PASSWORD' : 'my-secret-password-schwatzmooskogel',       
+        'HOST' : '',                          # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
+        'PORT' : '',                          # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
+    }
+}
+
    +

    But it still does not work

    +

    That is because we need to install the python tools that talk to mariadb. +

    +pip install mariadb
+
    +but note that there is a problem with using python 3.10 in that some bits of pip are not correct and you will get a +ImportError: cannot import name 'html5lib' error. +[Currently under investigation, June 2022]
