How to get Mariadb installed for Lamp app

[skeats]

Hello,

We have made a custom application over 10 years ago and we have recently updated the code and had to use Mariadb for some of the functions that Postgresql and MySQL do not have. We want to load it up using the Lamp app but it runs on MySQL. How can I change the db to be Mariadb? I need this or our app will break in Lamp.

Thanks

@skeats Cloudron doesn't have Maridb. So, it's not possible at this point to run that custom app on Cloudron.

Is there any plan in the roadmap that Cloudron plans on adding Mariadb?

not really, do you have specific requirements on why mysql would not work?

Licensing issues?
If you distribute MySQL with a non-open-source project, you would need to pay for the commercial license - https://www.mysql.com/de/about/legal/licensing/oem/

Atleast the https://www.mysql.com/products/community/ is what Ubuntu has in it's packages and this one is GPL

Because an Apache based PHP written software requires Mariadb for some of the functions it has that MySQL does not have. We tried refactoring the software to use MySQL and it broke our software completely. Mariadb was what the program developer used and it would be nice to keep the DB all the same.

Considering Turnkey Linux has a container version of LAMP with MariaDB that works great for our software, it is too much to manually setup SSL and other things, this is why we want to use the LAMP in Cloudron to setup our software, but MariaDB is needed.
