How to install with a custom MariaDB server
I've been trying to install Appwrite 1.5.5 using the docker compose method and while it works when you don't change the DB value in the ".env" file, it however doesn't seem to start the console on the web app when I change the DB values to reflect a separate MariaDB server.
TL;DR
To install Appwrite with a custom MariaDB server, developers should ensure their environment variables are set correctly (appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/environment-variables). Check the DB section and try connecting to the DB manually for verification. The issue with the console not starting on the web app after changing the DB values in the ".env" file might require further troubleshooting. 
double check the enviornment variables are correct - https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/environment-variables
