MariaDB installed directly onto the OS and not in docker container

It won't interfere with your OpenMediaVault configuration since it doesn't use MySQL/MariaDB.

So if you want to avoid the docker layer, since you're not feeling for it, install it on your host instead.

in my opinion ( and is only a opinion), docker is the way.

do not add any complexity or workload, and is easy to deploy.

Docker is maintained automatically if you use solutions like watchtower which update containers automagically.

Once a container is set, it works and you forget it's in Docker.

Moreover, the less you install in the main OS, less likely an upgrade or something else will screw up.

Hello friends of OMV

I searched for Infos and found this thread.

Is there an simple tutorial how to get MySQL or MariaDB working on OVM?

I come from qnap and later from Synology. It is very simple to instal the MariaDB Package and PHPAdmin for administration there.

But now - on OMV it seems a little difficult.

I already installed OMV-Extras and the docker thing... But I am new into this, just want a simple SQL DB for two KODI instances and don't know what to do next...

Can someone help me with a simple step by step guide?

Install OMV extras - check

Install Docker - check

Install Portainer - check

...

What to do next?

thank u

Also fell over this thread. In same situation as "Kamikaze01" and "hunt3rus"
The guide I have been able to find on mariaDB/Docker, (which escapes me for the moment) was for OMV4, which apparently had a docker control panel under "Services"
I don't have that. "Only" Portainer and Yacht.
Then you start wondering whether your installation is broken.

Then I found an instance of TechnoDad. He is installing NextCloud which uses MariaDB. I'd like to install NextCloud at some point, so great.

Then I reached this statement:

------

in OMV-extras | settings

• select suitable "Docker Storage" path

------

Then I'm at loss.

1) I don't have that setting

2) I'd be hard pressed to judge if the path was "suitable"

3) Guessing it was another word for "repo" i flipped the "Extras repo" switch.

As the well trained dog I am, I naturally applied configuration when the system asked me for that

Flipping the switch back to "off" has not resolved the matter.....

I keep getting the error.

So installing on MariaDB directly on the OS would get me done in ½ an evening. now I have spent like 3 evenings trying to get my head around dockers, portainer and what have we.

But I keep meting things as above that I cannot bridge easily.

As "KM0201" suggests above, I can also go to docker/mariadb. But then I need to convert something from

into stacks.....

Which probably is pretty simple for those who has crossed that learning curve.

Pointers and ideas will be appreciated
