Hey are there any downsides when using Supabase? I remember someone saying its better to do it locally. I am a complete noob and I don't know why it is, so if you do know pls tell.
Another important thing is I have qbittorent running on port 8080. How can I direct Teldrive to run on another port?

Using a local database gives you more control over setup, data, and performance, which some prefer for flexibility. However, using Supabase has advantages like ease of setup, backups, and built-in security. Since you're just starting out, using Supabase might be a better choice to avoid the complexity of managing a local database.

To change the port, simply add:

[server]  
port = 1234  

in config.toml to avoid conflict with qBittorrent.

I guess I might go forward with Supabase. But out of curiosity, is Docker the only dependency for making that local database?
Thank you for taking the time and building a guide for this.

Hi, @kvin27.

No, Docker is not a dependency of Teldrive. Docker is commonly used to simplify setting up the environment in an isolated manner, allowing you to run all the necessary services in containers. This makes it easier to get Teldrive up and running without manually installing and configuring each component.

So how do I create a local database? Can I do it without Docker?
