Changed password mariadb - no access

Hello!

I had an gitea + mariadb running in docker. I changed the mariadb password for root and the gitea@% user and also updated the env-vars.

Now I keep getting this in the log of Gitea container:
2025/03/05 14:01:52 routers/common/db.go:36:InitDBEngine() [E] ORM engine initialization attempt #6/10 failed. Error: Error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'gitea'@'172.18.0.3' (using password: YES)

Also, I only use the git-repos and are about to move to a new docker host. I dont need the SQL performance, can I just drop the mariadb-connection and start a new SQLite instance and copy the files in my gitea config directory (repos etc). I dont have any PR’s and discussions…

I doubt they’d show up just by virtue that establishing a repo creates an entry in the DB.

I’d just double check that not only is the gitea password right but also the privileges on the DB.
