MariaDB install script for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 server.

Prerequisites

Ubuntu 22.04 server or higher.

Download the script

git clone https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-database-server/mariadb-install.git

Usage

cd mariadb-install
sudo ./mariadbinstall [-p] <master password>

Example

sudo ./mariadbinstall -p mysecretpasswd

Note

The script adds the following to the MariaDB configuration

bind-address = 0.0.0.0
skip-name-resolve
log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log

Due to the fact that we enable skip-name-resolve please note that MariaDB:
will no longer treat 127.0.0.1 as localhost just a heads up when you debug.

Post install

Nothing to do.
