Akonadi with SQLite on FreeBSD
On FreeBSD, the default database for Akonadi is now SQLite3. Existing users of MySQL as the database are unaffected.
“Unaffected” is perhaps not the whole truth. There’s an update to MySQL in the FreeBSD ports tree which bumps the default MySQL from 5.7 to 8.0, which happened to my workstation as well. After that, Akonadi would no longer start because MySQL wouldn’t accept the data directory. This is what I found in ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err: [..].
