+# Installation guide (Docker with a different database)
+
+**Read the [upgrading guide](../../UPGRADING.md) if you are upgrading from a previous version.**
+
+Many Notes uses SQLite by default but supports other databases like MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. This guide will use MariaDB, but you can easily adapt it to one of the other databases.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Create a `compose.yaml` file with:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  php:
+    image: brufdev/many-notes:latest
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      - DB_CONNECTION=mariadb
+      - DB_HOST=many-notes-mariadb-1
+      - DB_PORT=3306
+      - DB_DATABASE=manynotes
+      - DB_USERNAME=user
+      - DB_PASSWORD=USER_PASSWORD # change password
+    volumes:
+      - storage-logs:/var/www/html/storage/logs
+      - storage-private:/var/www/html/storage/app/private
+      - storage-public:/var/www/html/storage/app/public
+      - storage-sessions:/var/www/html/storage/framework/sessions
+    ports:
