LiquidFractal Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I can't say anything about your specific setup (don't know what "bionic" is), but I am currently using IPB 4.,3.4 with MariaDB 10.2.16 and have had no problems whatsoever. On the advice from some people here in the know, I converted to MariaDB from mySQL as MariaDB is a better developed fork (and if I remember correctly Oracle bought mySQL, so some are wondering about its future). Again, there are others here who know much more than I do, but the only thing I had to do was convert all my tables to InnoDB, which is a more secure and reliable format. Your DB will grow in size, but for many here it's worth the tradeoff. So no, no problems with MariaDB so far as I've ever seen (and I have lots of third-party apps and plugins).

RevengeFNF Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL. You won't find any issue whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenboy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I use MariaDB 10.2 myself and can confirm it works without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We have, very occasionally, seen issues with MariaDB, but it only seems to effect a very small percentage of communities. I would recommend MySQL if it's available, but if not, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
