Hi
- External Mariadb / mysql  allows to share images with network
- Mariadb  is faster, mainly with many big image files
- in very rare corruption cases, it's easy to repare mariadb, in short
time. No need to recreate db.
- mariadb is safer, easy to backup or clone with integrated tool
"mariabackup"
