MariaDB version on the system

[gdp01]

Hello, in custombuild I receive the message: MariaDB version on the system is end of life, please upgrade

I am currently using Server version: 10.0.38-MariaDB - MariaDB Server

Should this message be ignored or should it be updated? I have many database and I am afraid the update failed.

Thanks

Ignored? No. It’s giving the warning for a good reason, the version you are using is end of life and you no longer receive (security) updates.

Update to a newer version (10.4 for example) that is actively supported. Don’t update directly to 10.4, do it with steps; 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4. Backup first off course.

These are the steps that I should follow?

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build mysql_backup

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set mariadb 10.1
./build update
./build mariadb

./build set mariadb up to version 10.4? Is it advisable to make a copy in each version?

Thanks

Backup all database separate if they are very important.

Snapshot server if possible before update, can save some time if something goes wrong.

But most important try and test your applications before updating, so we had some problems with the strict mode defaults for example!
So test on test server evntually xamp local one.
