๐Ÿ‘ How To Install MariaDB on CentOS 7

Introduction

MariaDB is an open-source database management system, commonly installed as part of the popular LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP/Python/Perl) stack. It uses a relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) to manage its data. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL managed by the original MySQL developers. Itโ€™s designed as a replacement for MySQL, uses some commands that reference mysql, and is the default package on CentOS 7.

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install the latest version of MariaDB on a CentOS 7 server. If you specifically need MySQL, see the How to Install MySQL on CentOS 7 guide. If youโ€™re wondering about MySQL vs. MariaDB, MariaDB is the preferred package and should work seamlessly in place of MySQL.

Hi, we update the droplet thinking the ram limit(1GB) itโ€™s was the problem (now 2GB), but we have the same problem, mariadb in centos 7 is crashed many times in the same day. But i donโ€™t have this problem in other server with the same centos and mariadb. i donโ€™t kown what is the problem in digitalocean exactly. Check this link : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/mariadb-5-5-sever-shuts-down-automatically-after-some-days-on-centos-7?answer=36254 , nobody can fix this problem. Where is the support people of DigitalOcean?

Simple and easy-to-follow. I just switched to Centos 7 from Fedora, and this tutorial was exactly what I needed to start migrating my database file. Thanks!
