Install MariaDB on your VPS
Infraa installs MariaDB on your VPS from the distro's default apt repository — MariaDB 10.6 on Ubuntu 22.04, 10.11 on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12. It sets the root password you provide (stored encrypted) and writes a managed config drop-in, all behind one approval.

What does the MariaDB install do?
- Installs mariadb-server from the stock apt repo — no third-party repository or signing key.
- Sets the root@localhost password you provide via a constrained capability; unix_socket auth for the OS root user keeps working alongside it.
- Stores the password encrypted — it never appears in logs or run history.
- Writes a managed drop-in at /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/60-infraa.cnf.
How do I install MariaDB with Infraa?
Connect your server
Run the Infraa install one-liner (curl install.infraa.sh | sh) on your VPS. The agent registers over an outbound connection in about 30 seconds — no inbound ports, no SSH keys to share.
Pick the service
Choose it from the one-click catalog in the dashboard, or just ask in chat. Infraa turns your request into a concrete, reviewable plan.
Review and approve
Read exactly what will run, then approve. The agent executes only the approved, cryptographically signed steps and streams progress live.
What happens after the install?
Infraa checks MariaDB every 60 seconds and flags it in your dashboard when the service degrades. Schema work, user management, and tuning go through chat — proposed by the AI, approved by you.

The version your distro ships and supports: MariaDB 10.6 on Ubuntu 22.04, 10.11 on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12. Packages come from the default apt repository, not a third-party repo.
02How is the MariaDB root password handled?

03Does Infraa monitor MariaDB after the install?
Yes — health checks run every 60 seconds and the dashboard flags the service the moment it stops responding, before users notice. Fixes are proposed in chat and run only after you approve.
