MariaDB Installation Guide
This guide provides all the key information and getting-started instructions after a successful MariaDB installation via DeploySage-CLI.
Getting Started
Your MariaDB server is now running. The installer has performed a secure installation and set a default password for the root user.
It is strongly recommended that you change this password immediately.
# Log in to MariaDB as the root user
mysql -u root -p'AWS@1024'
# Inside the MariaDB shell, change the password
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_NEW_STRONG_PASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Service Management
Manage the MariaDB service using standard systemctl commands.
# Start the MariaDB service
sudo systemctl start mariadb
# Stop the service
sudo systemctl stop mariadb
# Check the service status
sudo systemctl status mariadb
