| Komodo needs a MongoDB database to store its data. | ||
| If you're not able to run MongoDB, it is possible to use PostgreSQL with FerretDB *translating* between the two. |

Also iirc FerretDB is being deprecated or something along the lines, so, that line may be outdated very soon

Is feretdb itself being deprecated, or is this a Komodo V2 decision?

I hope that ferretDB isn't discontinued as a database option for Komodo. After all, it's a great option for keeping data secure with low RAM consumption, making it a lightweight option for home labs and projects that need to save RAM.
For example, in my home lab I couldn't even come close to that consumption with MongoDB, which starts with over 500MB even without any usage. My cluster is made up of 5 Raspberry Pi 4 nodes with 8GB of RAM, so reduced consumption is a prerequisite.

It's worth remembering that MongoDB doesn't tolerate NFS storage very well, and PostgreSQL tends to be more reliable.

This PR adds more details to the README.
For more context:
When I first heard of Komodo, I gave it a quick look, did not understand what it does, and then it gathered dust in my bookmarks for months. After I finally came around and looked at it in more detail, I immediately fell in love with it!
With this PR, I want to prevent others from having the same experience.
