Topic : Switch to MariaDB 10.3

Posted By: sparek on October 26, 2022, 3:02 pm

Is it possible to switch from MySQL 8.0 to MariaDB 10.3 on a fresh server with no accounts?

Seems that even if you remove MySQL 8.0 from the installed apps, when you try to install MariaDB 10.3 you get the error:

You cannot upgrade to MariaDB from the current higher version of MySQL Mysql80. You can upgrade only from versions less than equal to MySQL 5.7

I'm not sure where it's getting a reference to Mysql80.
