    Hello, A new member, I'd like to use CentimMod for my upcoming xenforo project, however I'm wondering if I can install mysql instead of Maria Db, as I'm not used to maria db.

    welcome @Altair to Centmin Mod Community. Right now it's MariaDB only but it's almost same as MySQL so should be fine - just test on a test VPS and see if it's for you. See MariaDB - MariaDB MySQL vs Oracle MySQL vs Percona MySQL

    There's 6 steps to learning more about Centmin Mod ;)

    You might want to try the 123.09beta01 build as it will be next stable release and well has alot of improvements if you check 2nd post change log at Beta Branch - Centmin Mod .09 beta branch Testing. And you can share your initial install times here.

    If you use Putty SSH client, for best Centmin Mod experience set your windows setting configuration to at least 160 columns, 70 rows and 256000 scrollback buffer size.

    Dear @eva2000 , I really appreciate your hard work, however I designed and developed my xenforo + wordpress + woocommerce project on localhost, with a lot of addons and custom coded addons, it took me 2 years to organize it right, and make all the design aspects of it as it's a big project, and prefill it with content, it's an ecommerce related.

    So the issue here, is that I have a large backup of a mysql database, would it import cleanly into maria db? That's my question.

    Added to that I'll be using a linode server.

    I know I can test on vmware installation of Centos, however just asking before I delve deeper into this.

    MariaDB 10.1.#
    @Altair There are of course a hundred possible reasons it would not work in mariab, but many more why it would. Depends if you have some specific mysql version #.# combinations/syntax specific queries and whatever else we can magically do in code/db layers.

    I'd run up a centos7 VM. Run centminmod as it is, restore your dump and then connect localhost to your vm's ip:3306. I don't know if you have automated tests/seleinum etc, run your tests and see. TBH I'd run up a remote DO/linode droplet, it's so much faster than local with updates and fetching ;)

    From my use, I've gone from mysql through percona to maria without any issues for an invision board which only supports 'mysql'. For everything else I'm afraid I go to postgresql ( rails/elixir dev )

    One final thought. If you're launching, do you want the added time of sys admin? Centminmod saved me a lot of time, I threw away weeks of scripts(ansbile puppet) and it removes a lot of the setup and daily/weekly patching updates. It does not remove it all, for those projects I push the apps out to the cloud paas (heroku, amazon), but in turn pay for it. Just a thought.

    Beyond all else good luck on the launch!

    HTH.

    This is why I'd like to use centminMod to save time & effort & learning curve, however sadly it's only maria db, and I doubt as you said hundred possible reasons that some mandatory addon for the project would execute an sql query that isn't supported in maria db which would fail the whole import process.

    There is no way to be sure if your mysql databases are 100% compatible from outsiders viewpoint. The previously linked thread at MariaDB - MariaDB MySQL vs Oracle MySQL vs Percona MySQL has links and info for features and incompatibilities between MySQL vs MariaDB which can also read too. However, only way to be 100% sure is on a test server try importing your databases and using them as intended for your web apps. Linode.com is an hourly provider, so just spin on a VPS for a few hours of testing first and 6 steps to learning more about Centmin Mod :)

    Just wanted to thank you @eva2000 for all the effort you put in this, I'm currently starting a linode server and reading the guides, it's going good till now.
