Hi All, I am running Nextcloud on Rocky Linux 9.4 (fully updated as of today). I just upgraded to the latest stable version of Nextcloud and after upgrading it reports a warning:
‘MariaDB version “10.5.22-MariaDB” detected. MariaDB >=10.6 and <=11.4 is suggested for best performance, stability and functionality with this version of Nextcloud.’
So my question is: What is the best way to upgrade MariaDB on Rocky 9.
You would have to use MariaDB Community version, since only MariaDB 10.5 exists in Rocky 9. Since it’s only a “suggested” upgrade, it’s not mandatory. I personally would stay with the version you already have.
Obviously you can use MariaDB Community version if you wish, but you will need to seek support for that from MariaDB forums.
Ok Thanks. I will stick with 10.5.
RHEL 9.4 introduced MariaDB 10.11 as the mariadb:10.11 module stream.
(1011 / 11) [~]$: dnf module list | grep mariadb
mariadb 10.11 client, galera, server [d] MariaDB Module
@BillT as @ganphx suggest here, it is available in RHEL 9.4, so it is also available in Rocky Linux 9.4 as module stream:
mariadb 10.11 client, galera, server [d] MariaDB Module
That’s from my Rocky 9.4 laptop using sudo dnf module list | grep mariadb
Good luck!
Steve
Thanks. That has worked. Does that get announced or documented somewhere when new module become available?
That module has been there since Rocky Linux 9.4 was released (probably 9.0). The best thing to do is to use the command dnf module list if you are looking for a new version of something to see if perhaps a module exists that would help you. To be fair, RHEL went hog-wild on modules in 8 and then started ramping them back in 9, and it looks like they are moving to eliminate them, or drastically curtail them in 10. So the future may not hold much promise for modules. BUT, you can certainly use the ones that are there today.
Also, modules, and other package changes, are generally listed in the release notes when a new Rocky Linux version is released.
Take care!
Steve
