MariaDB Support #194

Closed robertsilen closed 4 days ago

robertsilen commented 3 weeks ago

Hello, I noticed the documentation page 03.Basic-documentation/Deploying-database-server/ states "Database server currently can only be MySQL 8.0 or higher" though the actual examples and content are referring to MariaDB - rightfully so since most distros are running MariaDB by default.

So why does the intro text mention MySQL now? Should i be changed from MySQL 8.0 to a suitable MariaDB version? Or why does it say is the current state of MariaDB compatibility? Is CI testing being done towards MariaDB?

I just noticed now, that on the requirements page is says "We recommend MySQL 8.0 or higher and MariaDB 10.3 or higher in order to be compatible and have the latest security fixes." - so I guess the bit about MariaDB should be copied to the Deploying-database-server page?

Hi @robertsilen

I agree with you, the deploying database server can be confused as it make people feel like MariaDB is not supported. I'll create a PR asap :)
