Change mysql to mariadb

[djcart]

Hi, can I change mysql 8 to mariadb if my server works now on mysql?

If I'm correct the only way is with to dump all with mysqldump and then install mariadb and import again.

First start making a backup anyway like mentioned here:

General MariaDB and MySQL | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

docs.directadmin.com

Be sure to rename that backup and then just to be sure create another one which rest in place.

Then you could try follow the procedure, just change ./build set mariadb 5.5 to ./build set mariadb 10.3

If all is well, then you could further follow the procedure as mentioned in the docs.
