Downloads Setting up MariaDB Repositories
latest: 10.7.3
It will update the databases for you. You can use sudo mysql_upgrade -u root -p to verify it is updated. It will install the repositories for future dist-upgrades.
sudo apt update
sudo apt list –upgradable -a
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
You start by stopping mariadb and removing it.
sudo systemctl stop mariadb
sudo apt remove mariadb-server
Next you setup the new repository
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common dirmngr apt-transport-https
sudo apt-key adv –fetch-keys ‘https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc‘
sudo add-apt-repository ‘deb [arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el,s390x] https://mirror.jaleco.com/mariadb/repo/10.7/ubuntu focal main’
sudo apt update sudo apt install mariadb-server
Then I run the upgrade commands again to get any patches
sudo apt update
sudo apt list –upgradable -a
sudo apt dist-upgrade
