NOTE: After working some more on AceBase, I don't recommend using this database in production servers right now. It should only be used for experimentation since I have run into reliability issues with it. Next week's video is on SQLite which is a lot more robust.
MeshCentral supports many different databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MadiaDB, NeDB and AceBase. By default, MeshCentral uses NeDB as the local database that does not need any setup, however NeDB is no longer maintained and MeshCentral added support for AceBase as a replacement. In this video we look at enabling AceBase and the differences between NeDB and AceBase. More information at: https://meshcentral.com
