Mysqldump not found when using with MariaDB #1820

Closed gdarko closed 3 months ago

gdarko commented 3 months ago

Hey,

I am observing issues with the backup on servers that are running mariadb 11+.

As of MariaDB 11.0.1 the mysqldump utility was completely removed. Read more. Previously as of 10.05 it was deprecated and symlinked.

As a result the database backup features does not work with mariadb 11+ because mariadb is now using mariadb-dump. One option is to symlink mariadb-dump but this is manual work which no one expects to do, the other way is to add support to this package.

Best Regards, Darko

We're not using MariaDB ourselves.

Am I correct in assuming that MariaDB users now need to make sure mysqldump is available on their systems? If so, I'd appreciate a PR to our docs to make that clear.

Hey @freekmurze - Yes, if they use 11.0.1 and onward they need to at least symlink mariadb-dump to mysqldump.

I will make a PR later today.
