Hi.
Just come out of a bit of a server reorg where I followed the new instructions to get Mailman3 up and running with Mailman-web.
Virtualenv Installation - Mailman Suite 3.3 documentation (list.org)< https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html>
In these instructions we are using 2 databases for the Mailman and Django components. I guess it doesn't harm anything to have just one database for both but wondered whether it was a good idea to split eventually?
Nice question.
The thing is, Mailman Core doesn't know about the existence of any web interface (Postorius & Hyperkitty). I believe that is the reason why the databases are split in the documentation. Someone can decide NOT to install Postorius and Hyperkitty. If one decides to have everything centrally, then I see no harm in using the same database. I have sites using the same database for both, and others that are split. It's cosmetic, I think.
I will let the experts have their say.
