Question Updating mariadb 10.3 to 10.11 on rockylinux?

charmainebell

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Rocky Linux 8.8 (Green Obsidian)
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.54 Update #3
Hey all, i wish to upgrade my current mariadb version 10.3.35 to 10.11 on rocky linux 8.8. what is best possible way to do it?
 
Hi,
I'd strongly recommend performing something like this in a maintenance timeframe if the server is in a production environment.

Actions performed as root.
1. Create dump backup folder:
# mkdir /root/dbBackups
2. Dump databases, just in case(don't proceed if this action failed):
# plesk db -Ne 'show databases' | egrep -vE '(information_schema|performance_schema|mysql)' | xargs -l bash -c 'mysqldump -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` $0 > /root/dbBackups/$0.sql'
3. Create /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo with the following contents:
Code:
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://mirror.mariadb.org/yum/11.3.1/rhel8-amd64/
module_hotfixes=1
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
4. Stop mariadb server:
# systemctl stop mariadb
5. Remove it:
# rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qf /usr/libexec/mysqld`
6. Create repository cache and install new MariaDB from it:
# yum makecache
# yum install mariadb-server
(will be prompted to hit "Y" a number of times)

7. Adjust config's bind_address value:
# sed -i 's/::ffff://' /etc/my.cnf

8. Start MariaDB 10.11:
# systemctl start mariadb

9. Upgrade tables:
MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin

Done.

Hello!

Good point... that corresponds to one of my attempts, even with lower versions I run into the same problem:

[mariadb-main]
name = MariaDB Server
baseurl = https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/mariadb-server/10.11.5/yum/rhel/8/x86_64
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1
module_hotfixes = 1

[mariadb-maxscale]
# To use the latest stable release of MaxScale, use "latest" as the version
# To use the latest beta (or stable if no current beta) release of MaxScale, use "beta" as the version
name = MariaDB MaxScale
baseurl = https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/maxscale/latest/yum/rhel/8/x86_64
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-MaxScale-GPG-KEY
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

[mariadb-tools]
name = MariaDB Tools
baseurl = Tools/rhel/8/x86_64/ - MariaDB
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Enterprise-GPG-KEY
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

Best regards
