MYSQL on OMV 5.0

  • Hi there.


    Have just upgraded my Odroid HC2 to to OMV 5 and noticed that there appears to be no plugin for MYSQL.


    On OMV 4, I used MYSQL to share watched/resume status between my various Kodi clients:


    https://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL - this page suggests that MariaDB is more common nowadays.


    What are my options, now? I have been looking around this forum and it is suggested that there will be no-such SQL plugin for OMV 5.


    Should I install MYSQL or MariaDB on my server, directly?

    Please try ctrl-shift-R and read this before posting a question.

    Please put your OMV system details in your signature.
    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

  • Perfect - thanks for clarifying (I have just read, on another one of your answers on another thread, that MYSQL and MariaDB are the same - that clears up a lot of issues that I may have run into!).


    I think I am going to install MariaDB directly onto my server - I spent some time, a while back, trying to get to grips with Docker but never got on with it.

  • Try using the images of linuxserver.io and Portainer as GUI for Docker, might make things a little easier and visual.

    More straight forward: docker-compose.

  • Hmmmm - hadn't realised that Portainer existed as well.


    I like to think of myself as being pretty good with computers, but anything involving Docker just confuses me - no matter how much I read about it, I just cannot seem to understand the benefit of it over a regular plugin.

    If I am not ever sure, exactly, what this means, do you think I should probably not mess around with it?

  • Putting your services in container offers you so much more flexibility and comfort. You can easily update a version, create a copy and mess with it without harm; use a version you want despite the depecies between the service an the host system. You can control access of network or even isolate a container.


    It's worth putting a litte effort into it.

  • Hi,
    I am totally with Riff-Raff but always has the same practical problems than elsmandino, cause my servers CPU (where i have OMV) is not compatible with Debian´s docker (something that uses OMV as backend engine).
    I tried like 2 times with different OMV versions, and failed on both of them, unfortunately.

    I believe i will be able to test docker once i move my server to new and newer HW

    Well just saying.. "I failed" doesn't help troubleshoot the problem
