Hi!

I am interested in when MariaDB 12 (on Almalinux 9 or 10) will be supported. Is there an estimated time frame?

Plesk only supports LTS (Long-Term Support) releases of MariaDB. The latest TLS release is version 11.8, which is supported by Plesk. The MaraiDB 12.x branch currently still only contains rolling release with a short support cycle from MariaDB.

If you need MariaDB 12 for use with Plesk you options are either to use a docker container (and connect it as a remote database server to Plesk) or install MariaDB 12 on a remote server altogether (and connect it as a remote database server to Plesk).

Since 28 May 2026

MariaDB 12.3 is a long term release, maintained until June 2029.

It looks like the question is valid now?

You probably won't see 12.3 support any time soon, it takes time for the team to review and test before it becomes available. If you really want to use version 12.3, you can deploy it in a docker container and add it as another database server that way, but otherwise I'd bet you'd probably won't see any traction for version 12 for at least another 4 months or so if you're lucky.

MariaDB 12.3 is planned for Q4/26.
