Database Configuration

Every Probo.CI Build can have a database. This is true of any stack type and supported language. You can configure the database to mirror (as closely as possible) your production environment by selecting the type and version of the database to be installed. This is configured using the database root level tag in your .probo.yaml file.

To configure a database for use, include the database name and version in your configuration. For example:

database: postgres:16

This will configure a PostgreSQL 16 database for use in your build.

Versions supported are as follows:

• MySQL (mysql): 5.7, 8.0, 8.4
• PostgreSQL (postgres): all released versions (13 and up).
• MariaDB (mariadb): 10.11, 11.0, 11.4
• MSSQL (mssql): 17 (2025)

Plugins for each database type are available for both PHP and .NET. These plugins will allow you to use any supported database.

These and other pages will be updated as new versions are released and old versions are removed.

To get your database dump file into the database, you will want to see the Importing Databases page. That will give you guidances for database imports for every kind of database we support.

Special Note on MSSQL Currently, Microsoft only provides support for MSSQL 2025 (17) on the latest Ubuntu LTS distribution. As additional versions become available, they will be added and supported.

Special Note on MySQL 5.7
MySQL 5.7 is no longer supported by MySQL but is provided here for legacy applications that depend on it and it works as well as any of the other option. However, it consumes about 2gb of quota space for each build. We realize this is quite resource intensive, but such is the nature of the custom compiled version of MySQL to work with later versions of Ubuntu Linux.

Special Note on PostgreSQL
For more information on older versions (pre version 13), see the PostgreSQL documentation.
