[AWS Bitnami] How to only upgrade MariaDB on the stack

How to only upgrade MariaDB on the actual stack

Hello, I have done everything to upgrade the MariaDB on my actual stack but it seems there is a configuration somewhere forcing the same version as the original stack. I can't install a new stack on another machine as we have several other custom configurations for other services and were several years with it. I only need to upgrade the MariaDB server. I already remove the packages, upgrade the source list and done a lot of other trial and error to no avail. If someone knows something about this or some clue I will be grateful. Thank you on advance.

Hi @Wh1teDrvg0n,

Thanks for using Bitnami. Our installations don't relay on system packages (those installed using the apt-get command). We build (from official source code) and install our binaries under the /opt/bitnami directory. Unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade these components individually. We recommend you to use a newer image including the updated components and migrate your data there.

Hope it helps!

Backup Your Database: Always start with a backup of your database to prevent data loss. Remove Old Packages: You’ve mentioned removing packages, which is a good start. Make sure Official Site all MariaDB-related packages are completely removed. Update Source List: Ensure that your source list points to the repository containing the version of MariaDB you wish to install. Install New Version: Install the new version of MariaDB from the updated source list. Run mariadb-upgrade: After installation, run the mariadb-upgrade command to ensure that your databases are compatible with the new version. Check Configuration Files: Look for any configuration files that may be overriding your version choice. This could include files in /etc/mysql/ or /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/. Consult Version-Specific Upgrade Guides: Review the MariaDB Knowledge Base for any version-specific upgrade notes that may apply to your situation.

Best Regard, Ryan1969manus

Hi @ryan1969manus,

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, and explained in my first message, those steps do not apply to Bitnami assets.
