Why do you say that MariaDB doesn't work?
It's an MySQL fork which is fully compatible to it.
I haven't tested it but I'm sure that it works fine.

@nipos It lacks the "json" field type, the DB migration crashes because of it, see pixelfed/pixelfed#132

@dansup The php artisan horizon command seem to need to be run in the background, is it required for a single-user node?
