Raspbian Lite or Snappy Ubuntu Core work quite well. As for the database, either MySQL or MariaDB is fine.

If you want to manage the database through your browser instead of the command line you can install a web server (like Apache) and PHP, then use for example phpMyAdmin.

I did try Snappy Ubuntu Core but never got past the first login and my post never got answered at Ubuntu Forum:
login incorrect - Ubuntu Core 16 on RPi2

Sure, it's just a run of the mill database server.

Right now I am running OSMC on a RPi3 with MySQL installed on it, and being my MySQL server and run texturecache.py to update the database without a monitor. Then I have 3 other RPi2 running LibreELEC and getting the movice/tv show database off of the RPi3. But Thinking if there is better option(s) or not.

Thank you.

I did it some time ago by just installing raspbian lite and installning MySQL server on top.
I think it was this guide i used...
Install MySQL on Raspberry Pi tutorial. Install MySQL on Raspbian

Can you run MYSQL server on one machine and that does not have kodi, and manage the kodi database on another machine?!

Sorry. I did search for it, but for some weird reason I got different search results.
Used DuckDuckGo though.

If with they means me then don't expect that. It is old discussion and things like this were not acceptable to include in any way. That's why this addon is somewhere lost in space without people knowing it exist

I'm almost sure there will be mysql docker version available one day. You could use that then.

What does "docker version" mean?

Thank you.

Instead of putting the mysql database on devices that aren't meant for it, like routers or media players, I would suggest to buy a cheap RPi and turn it into a dedicated database server.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I was wondering if you could recommend a good combination of OS and mysql solution!?
I have a spare RPi3 that I could make as a server. Isn't best to compile the mysql myself on an OS, like OSMC, or should I run LibreELEC and install vpeter 's LAMP addon?!

Thank you in advance.
