Hi @tophee

Can you give us your recommendation on using SQLite with NPM, since it’s more easy and trusted to work with than mariadb issue’s;

I have setup NPM with SQLite and everything working fine, nginx virtual host, ssl, etc… but i want make sure how to connect the database of discourse with NPM ? since i’m getting 502 error for the npm setup with the discourse site.

my docker-compose

```plaintext
version: "3"
services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: always
    network_mode: bridge <-- this network has been added to let NPM be in same discourse network, and they now see each others.
    ports:
      # Public HTTP Port:
      - '80:80'
      # Public HTTPS Port:
      - '443:443'
      # Admin Web Port:
      - '81:81'
    environment:
      DB_SQLITE_FILE: "/data/database.sqlite"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

```
