Make database type/vendors configurable

[w0kyj]

Currently the charts and templates are hard coded to a MariaDB. Directus supports multiple vendors and would be great to make the templates and charts the use variables instead to allow for quick setup with any of the supported vendors.

https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/docker-guide.html#supported-databases
Directus supports the LTS versions of PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MS SQL Server, MariaDB, CockroachDB, and OracleDB.

Agree, great idea!

Echoing this...I used helm to generate manifests, then butchered the manifests to point to an existing postgres instance instead. My use case is a dev instance only at the moment so I ended up only using a secret, configmap, deployment (single replica), and service and stripping out redis.

Hello @fullmetal-fred, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and it gives me insights where move the development of the chart to. For sure, I'll develop support of postgresql and mysql db engines

@mikesindieiev sounds good. Let me know when you're ready for someone to test and I'll run it in my dev environment.

Do you want an issue to track Postgres specifically?

[mikesindieiev]

That would be good if you create one for it.
Most probably, I'll work on that after holiday season

Have a great holiday!
