 Every operation checks if its target already exists before creating it. This is simpler to implement in bash and easier to debug — you can see exactly which step was skipped vs executed. The trade-off is that it cannot detect drift (e.g., someone manually changed a Gitea setting between runs). For a one-time migration, drift detection adds complexity without value.
 
-### Why SQLite instead of PostgreSQL/MySQL?
+### Database support
 
-The target workload is 3 repos with a handful of users. SQLite handles this with zero operational overhead — no separate database container, no connection strings, no backup coordination. The Gitea instance can be backed up by copying a single file. If the workload grows, migrating to PostgreSQL later is a Gitea admin operation, not a re-migration.
+All four Gitea-supported database backends are available: `sqlite3`, `mysql`, `postgres`, and `mssql`. Set `GITEA_DB_TYPE` in `.env` — sqlite3 is the default and needs no additional configuration. For external databases, the toolkit deploys a containerized database alongside Gitea (PostgreSQL 16, MySQL 8.0, or MSSQL 2022) with health checks, and the wizard prompts for connection details (host, port, name, user, password) only when needed. Backup/restore handles SQL dump import into the correct database engine.
