Those services come with their own databases that you don't have to directly manage.
Grab their respective Docker compose files and run them up and let the app handle the db.
The !selfhosted@lemmy.world communities can give far better answers than a generic community like this.
All the discussions I saw about it said that I would have to make a new table in a database to store it on, but I guess that's only if adding it to an existing database instead of letting it make a new one? Should I be letting it set up its own database without understanding database maintenance to begin with?
I don't mean to sound rude but because you are asking what db to use it sounds like you don't know what you are doing. In that case let the individual apps run their own db.
Yes you are using more compute resources running several dbs at once but if a db falls over only one app is effected.
I absolutely have no idea what I'm doing, asking questions is evidence of lack of knowledge, couldn't possibly be considered rude.
