MariaDB is a community-driven fork of MySQL relational database management system. MariaDB gives improved performance over MySQL and offers better storage engines, a larger and faster connection pool, speed, and replication improvements. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac, and Windows.
Install MariaDB on Rocky Linux 8
Step 1. First, before you start installing any package on your Rocky Linux server, we always recommend making sure that all system packages are updated.
sudo dnf update sudo dnf upgrade
Step 2. Install MariaDB on Rocky Linux.
Installing MariaDB on your Rocky Linux system is straightforward, Now add MariaDB’s official repository to the latest version:
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo
Add the following lines:
[mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.6/rhel8-amd64 module_hotfixes=1 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1
Next, update the system repositories and install the MariaDB server and client using the following command:
sudo dnf update sudo dnf install mariadb-server mariadb
After installed, enable MariaDB service to start on boot time and start the service using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable mariadb sudo systemctl start mariadb
Step 3. Secure MariaDB Server
MariaDB comes with a default security script, mysql_secure_installationthat is used to improve the security of MariaDB installation by:
- Setting the password for root accounts (if need be).
- Disabling remote root login to the databases.
- Removing anonymous-user accounts.
- Removing the test database, which by default can be accessed by anonymous users.
Now, to secure MariaDB, execute the below-mentioned command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Now to verify the security we will run the following command to enter the environment of MariaDB and then type the set password to access it:
sudo mysql -u root -p
