The MariaDB database server is published as free and open source software under the General Public License version 2. It uses a relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) to manage its data. MariaDB was forked from MySQL in 2009 due to licensing concerns. It can run on anything, anywhere – servers, virtual machines or containers, in a private data center or in the cloud (public, private or hybrid) – and is the default database on leading Linux distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
Installing MariaDB
apt -y install mariadb-servernano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf character-set-server = utf8
#collation-server = utf8mb4_general_ci
systemctl restart mariadbInitial Settings for MariaDB:
Since we are doing fresh installation, we'll need to run the included security script. This changes some of the less secure default options for things like remote
root logins and sample users.mysql_secure_installationNOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.
# set root password
Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
# remove anonymous users
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
# remove test database
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
# reload privilege tables
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
