mariadb |
linuxserver/mariadb
Mariadb is one of the most popular database servers. Made by the original developers of MySQL.
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup
If you didn't set a password during installation, (see logs for warning) use
mariadb-admin -u root -p<PASSWORD>
to set one at the docker prompt...
NOTE changing the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD variable after the container has set up the initial databases has no effect, use the mysqladmin tool to change your mariadb password.
NOTE if you want to use (MYSQL_DATABASE MYSQL_USER MYSQL_PASSWORD) all three of these variables need to be set you cannot pick and choose.
Unraid users, it is advisable to edit the template/webui after setup and remove reference to this variable.
Find custom.cnf in /config for config changes (restart container for them to take effect) , the databases in /config/databases and the log in /config/log/myqsl
Loading passwords and users from files
The MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD MYSQL_DATABASE MYSQL_USER MYSQL_PASSWORD REMOTE_SQL
env values can be set in a file:
/config/env
Using the following format:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="ROOT_ACCESS_PASSWORD"
MYSQL_DATABASE="USER_DB_NAME"
MYSQL_USER="MYSQL_USER"
MYSQL_PASSWORD="DATABASE_PASSWORD"
REMOTE_SQL="http://URL1/your.sql,https://URL2/your.sql"
These settings can be mixed and matched with Docker ENV settings as you require, but the settings in the file will always take precedence.
Bootstrapping a new instance
We support a one time run of custom sql files on init. In order to use this place *.sql
files in:
/config/initdb.d/
This will have the same effect as setting the REMOTE_SQL
environment variable. The sql will only be run on the containers first boot and setup.
Check and Repair
If user databases are not in a healthy state (sometimes caused by a failed upgrade), it may be remedied by running:
mariadb-check -u root -p<PASSWORD> -c -A # check all databases for errors
mariadb-check -u root -p<PASSWORD> -r -A # repair all databases
mariadb-check -u root -p<PASSWORD> -a -A # analyze all databases
mariadb-check -u root -p<PASSWORD> -o -A # optimize all databases
After running the above commands, you may need to run the upgrade command again.
Upgrading
When this container initializes, if MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
is set an upgrade check will run. If an upgrade is required the log will indicate the need stop any services that are accessing databases in this container, and then run the command:
mariadb-upgrade -u root -p<PASSWORD>
Usage
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

Parameters
Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Ports (-p
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
3306 |
Mariadb listens on this port. |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=ROOT_ACCESS_PASSWORD |
Set this to root password for installation (minimum 4 characters & non-alphanumeric passwords must be properly escaped). |
MYSQL_DATABASE=USER_DB_NAME |
Specify the name of a database to be created on image startup. |
MYSQL_USER=MYSQL_USER |
This user will have superuser access to the database specified by MYSQL_DATABASE (do not use root here). |
MYSQL_PASSWORD=DATABASE_PASSWORD |
Set this to the password you want to use for you MYSQL_USER (minimum 4 characters & non-alphanumeric passwords must be properly escaped). |
REMOTE_SQL=http://URL1/your.sql,https://URL2/your.sql |
Set this to ingest sql files from an http/https endpoint (comma seperated array). |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
Persistent config files |
Miscellaneous Options
Parameter | Function |
---|
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
Will set the environment variable MYVAR
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable
file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v
flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id your_user
as below:
id your_user
Example output:
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
-
Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it mariadb /bin/bash
-
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f mariadb
-
Container version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' mariadb
-
Image version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
-
Update images:
-
All images:
docker-compose pull
-
Single image:
docker-compose pull mariadb
-
-
Update containers:
-
All containers:
docker-compose up -d
-
Single container:
docker-compose up -d mariadb
-
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
-
Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
-
Stop the running container:
docker stop mariadb
-
Delete the container:
docker rm mariadb
-
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) -
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
!!! tip
We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/diun/) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mariadb.git
cd docker-mariadb
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
