About

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, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for MariaDB Docker, MariaDB Docker Compose, or self-host MariaDB, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

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.

Use as a drop-in replacement for MySQL in existing applications.

Build analytics databases with ColumnStore for real-time aggregations.

Ports

These are the standard container ports Yantr knows about for MariaDB. You can keep the default mapping, remap them, or publish extra ports later after deployment with Docker syntax such as 3000:3000 or 3000.
