I am running some old scripts that need php 5.2 and mysql 5.5. I want to covert from cpanel. I will be using cloudlinux os and php selector so any php version should be find to install.

However for mysql how do I do custom installs for mysql version? also I am thinking of converting to mariadb right after sites have migrated. I need to install mysql 5.5 first though and then upgrade to mariadb and see if any errors exist.
 
you can't do this. there will be mysql8 or mariadb 10.6 by default, not sure you can install lower than mysql 5.7 and maria 10.4.
you can try convert mysql DB on any other server with needed version. But in my practice - websites on PHP 5.2 works fine on new versions. but better test it - try any shared hosting with DA and new versions, add IP of new hosting to hosts-file and test how website will work without touching working version.
 
I thought you can create custom installs?

DA_INTERACTIVE_CUSTOMBUILD=yes

Doesn't that allows u to pick different php and mysql versions?
 
Is DA dependent on mariadb or mysql? I could just uninstall and install a different version? or will that crash DA.
 
DA dependent, if you install old version - it will not allow you to install any other updates, also CL will not allow install older then they support now
