  • SQL Database

The Horde 6 Base application can be run without an SQL Database.
Most Horde 6 applications and features cannot be run without an SQL Database.

++ MariaDB

Horde 6 has been tested with MariaDB 10.8 and MariaDB 10.9 - any MariaDB of the 10.x series should work.

  • ensure mariadb uses "innodb" as its default engine
  • ensure the PHP server can reach the database hostname and port
  • use utf8mb4 as default charset.
  • create a database schema. This documentation assumes the db name is "horde"
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE horde;
  • create a mariadb user with all default privileges on horde.*

    mysql> create user 'hordeuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED by 'hordepw';
    mysql> GRANT ALL on horde.* to 'hordeuser'@'%';

Do not use the default password shown here. If you run the DB on the same host as horde, use @'localhost' instead of @'%'. If you want to restrict access to a specific IP address or network, consult the database manual.

++ MySQL

Horde 6 has been tested with MySQL 8 and MySQL 5.7 versions.
Use the "mysql" settings described under MariaDB.

++ Percona Server

Horde 6 has not been tested with Percona Server - any Percona 8 release should work.
Use the "mysql" settings described under MariaDB.

++ SQLite

TBD - untested for H6 except some libraries

++ Postgresql

TBD - Needs confirmation for H6

#Create the database

sudo -u postgres psql horde
postgres=# CREATE USER horde;
postgres=# ALTER USER horde with password 'your password';

#starting with postgres 15+
