By default Kener is configured for sqlite (DATABASE_URL=sqlite://./database/kener.sqlite.db), yet it also installs two separate database services.

This seems like a case of extreme and unnecessary bloat that could be handled through one of the following options:

Comment out services and env variables that aren't used
Refer to official documentation
Create separate templates

version: "3.8"

services:
  kener:
    image: rajnandan1/kener:latest
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - KENER_SECRET_KEY=${KENER_SECRET_KEY} # 🔐 API key / secret
      - DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_URL}
      - KENER_BASE_PATH=${KENER_BASE_PATH}
      - ORIGIN=${ORIGIN}
      - RESEND_API_KEY=${RESEND_API_KEY} # 🔐 API key
      - RESEND_SENDER_EMAIL=${RESEND_SENDER_EMAIL}
    ports:
      - 3000
    volumes:
      - kener_db:/app/database
      - ../files/uploads:/app/uploads
    restart: unless-stopped

  postgres:
    image: postgres:alpine
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=${POSTGRES_USER}
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} # 🔐 DB password
      - POSTGRES_DB=${POSTGRES_DB}
    restart: unless-stopped

  mysql:
    image: mariadb:11
    environment:
      - MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD} # 🔐 DB password
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
      - MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  kener_db: {}
