What MariaDB gives you

MariaDB is a community-developed fork of MySQL that stays wire-compatible with it: applications, drivers and tools written for MySQL work unchanged, while the engine has continued to gain storage engines, optimiser improvements and clustering options.

It is the database behind most PHP applications — WordPress, Drupal, Odoo — so an instance of it is often the second thing a deployment needs after the application itself.

Key features

  • MySQL compatibility. Existing drivers, dumps and tooling work without changes.
  • Storage engines. InnoDB by default, with alternatives for specific workloads.
  • Replication. Primary-replica and Galera clustering for HA setups.
  • Performance schema. Query analysis and slow-query visibility built in.
  • Tunable. Full access to configuration and buffer sizing.

What is in the image

ApplicationRecent stable MariaDB release
ConfigurationTuned defaults; full access to the configuration files
AccessFull root access over SSH; network access per firewall policy
Suggested sizeFrom 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM; add block storage for data volumes

Good fit for

  • PHP applications The expected database for WordPress, Drupal and similar.
  • Migrations Move off managed MySQL without rewriting queries.
  • Shared services One database instance behind several applications in a VPC.

Getting started

Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.

  1. 01
    Log in to the Cloud Portal

    Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.

  2. 02
    At Select Template, open Marketplace App

    In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.

  3. 03
    Pick the template and deploy

    Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.

  4. 04
    Finish the application setup

    Run the secure-installation step, set passwords, restrict access to your private network, then create the application database and user.

Before it carries real traffic

  • Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
  • Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
  • Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
  • Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.

Support

Antyxsoft supports the image and the infrastructure it runs on. Application-level questions are also covered by the upstream project's own documentation and community.

Need it managed?

Ask about managed operations — updates, monitoring and backup handled for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is MariaDB a drop-in replacement for MySQL?
For the vast majority of applications, yes — it is wire-compatible, so existing drivers, dumps and tooling work unchanged.
Which applications expect it?
Most PHP applications: WordPress, Drupal, Odoo and similar. It is commonly the second instance deployed after the application itself.
Should the database be publicly reachable?
No. Keep it on a private VPC network and allow access only from your application instances or over a VPN, using a Cloud Firewall to enforce that.
