You need a database to use Gitea. Gitea supports PostgreSQL (>= 12), MySQL (>= 8.0), MariaDB (>= 10.4), SQLite (builtin), and MSSQL (>= 2012 SP4). This page will guide into preparing database. Only PostgreSQL and MySQL will be covered here since those database engines are widely-used in production. If you plan to use SQLite, you can ignore this chapter. You need a database to use Gitea.

:::warning
Converting one database type to another is not a well-tested process and you may experience issues. It is better to choose the final database type at the type of the first installation. Be aware that SQLite does not scale; if you expect your instance to grow at a later time, you should choose another database type.

If you use an unsupported database version, please [get in touch](/help/support) with us for information on our Extended Support Contracts. We can provide testing and support for older databases and integrate those fixes into the Gitea codebase.
