Databases

Does Cachet support database X?

Cachet has built-in support for:

MySQL/MariaDB
SQLite
PostgreSQL
SQL Server

Can Cachet support database X?

Cachet is built on the Laravel framework. By default, Laravel supports the databases listed above but can be extended to support new drivers, so whilst technically possible, it's not within scope of the core team to provide support.

Each new driver requires additional support, testing and maintenance to retain compatibility with the features we want to build into Cachet in the future.

Support and troubleshooting

Do you offer paid support for Cachet?

We have been experimenting with paid support for Cachet at a limited scale. Cachet is not a full-time job, so our time is low and we cannot yet promise that your support request will be dealt with immediately.

Cachet usage

Why isn't the Subscribe button enabled?

Cachet checks some informations before displaying the Subscribe button, because checking the "Enable subscribers" is not enough.
To see the Subscribe button you need to:

Check the box "Enable subscribers" in the settings.
Set the MAIL_* option in your .env file.

The second item is important, because if your mail is not well configured you won't be able to send mails to your subscribers.

Note: The MAIL_NAME is mandatory too, it is the sender name.
