How To Install MariaDB With xCloud? #
Here, we will install MariaDB in xCloud-managed servers. Follow the step-by-step guidelines to learn how.
Step 1: Create A New Server In xCloud #
First, log in to your xCloud account and move to the ‘Servers’ tab. Click on ‘New Server’ to create a new server.
Step 2: Choose Hosting Managed By xCloud #
To set up MariaDB, you need to choose your hosting provider. Here, in this tutorial, we are choosing the hosting managed by xCloud. Scroll down and choose your hosting.
Step 3: Configure Server Setup #
Add the ‘Server Name’ and ‘Server Tag’ from the ‘Server Details’ section. Choose the ‘Server Type’, ‘Server Size’, and other details as required.
Step 4: Select Database Server #
Now, from the ‘Database’ Section, select your database server. Here, choose MariaDB and click ‘Next’.
*Note: xCloud supports Maria DB version 10.6.
Following these steps, you can successfully set up MariaDB in xCloud-managed servers. You can stop or restart MariaDB from here.
In one server, you can use only one database from MySQL or MariaDB. If you want to use MariaDB in your server, you need to create a new server. And if you want to migrate your existing server from MySQL to MariaDB, you need to create a new server and clone your all the sites into that server.
Note: Currently MariaDB is not available on AWS servers and ARM-based servers.
