What MariaDB does
MariaDB is an open-source, MySQL-compatible relational database server. It supports multiple storage engines, JSON and GIS features, and offers improved performance and additional features used by apps like WordPress and Nextcloud—serving as a drop-in MySQL replacement.
Install Flow
How to self-host MariaDB
MariaDB can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what MariaDB does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Run the database backend for Nextcloud, WordPress, or other PHP applications.
- Store application data for your custom projects with full SQL capabilities.
