    Does anyone use CentminMod for MariaDB use only (such as you'd get with Amazon RDS, etc.)?

    I fired up Centos 7 and installed MariaDB 10.3 for this use now, but feel that CMM is packed with other software that can help protect the database as well as give me a GUI (phpMyAdmin) to make some quicker changes/backups/etc.

    If I did this, would it be recommended to just turn off nginx/php-fpm/etc. and run MariaDB only?


    Or should I stick with a barebones VPS with MariaDB installed?

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    that's what i usually do/recommend - install centmin mod and then just turn off nginx, php-fpm services leaving mariadb mysql. This way in emergencies you can re-purpose this server to serve the site's web end as well by just turning back on nginx/php-fpm services as well and moving the web data to the mariadb mysql server.

    You can also also make a separate web file/data backup to dedicated mariadb mysql server rsync'd to same location nginx vhost on web server, so you can instantly make mariadb mysql server switch to serving web + db if needed. And if you did mariadb mysql server backup to web server, the web server can also instantly be re-purposed to serve both web + db if needed.
