Question How to update Maria DB from 10.3 to 10.5

[dgarcia90]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

10.0.56

Hello everyone, the server I have runs with Ubuntu 20.04 and MariaDB 10.3.

I have a moodle installation and I'd like to perform an update but it needs MariaDB 10.5 minimum.

I've checked and I don't find an "easy" way to perform this upgrade within Pleks's UI.

I also saw a few forum posts on how to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.6 and that looks like a mayor upgrade with a lot of steps but I did not find any guide of how to update from 10.3 to 10.5

Does anyone know how to perform this kind of upgrade?

Thankds in advance!

Kind regards

The steps for upgrading to MariaDB 10.5 are the same, just change the version numbers. However MariaDB 10.6 is recommended as it has longer support for (security) updates. You'll find the steps to update here:

If you are not confirmable following upgrading MariaDB via command line yourself you could ask your hosting provider if they can perform the upgrade for you. Alternatively you could ask Plesk for a quote to do the upgrade for you.
