The SQL backend requires a Mariadb server running 10.2 or later. Mysql is not supported but Mariadb is a drop in replacement for mysql. SQL is required for the library, stats tracking, admin notes, and job-only bans, among other features, mostly related to server administration. Your server details go in /config/dbconfig.txt, and the SQL schema is in /SQL/tgstation_schema.sql and /SQL/tgstation_schema_prefix.sql depending on if you want table prefixes.

## WEB/CDN RESOURCE DELIVERY

Web delivery of game resources makes it quicker for players to join and reduces some of the stress on the game server.

1. Edit compile_options.dm to set the `PRELOAD_RSC` define to `0`
1. Add a url to config/external_rsc_urls pointing to a .zip file containing the .rsc.
* If you keep up to date with /tg/ you could reuse /tg/'s rsc cdn at http://tgstation13.download/byond/tgstation.zip. Otherwise you can use cdn services like CDN77 or cloudflare (requires adding a page rule to enable caching of the zip), or roll your own cdn using route 53 and vps providers.
* Regardless even offloading the rsc to a website without a CDN will be a massive improvement over the in game system for transferring files.
