Using MariaDB on NetPi

[Armin@netPI]

Hi there,

what I would recommend to you is using indeed the image https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/netpi-raspbian that we prepared for netPI if you use the SD card preinstalled on your fresh netPI. If you do not want to use the default SD card and default image, you can use you own SD card and then you use the very official image from Raspberry.org. In this case using Docker is not necessarily a need. But based on what you wrote in your post you indeed want to use Docker. I do use Raspbian OS with Docker at home too by the way. So are you using the preinstalled SD card or your own.

If you use the container https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/netpi-raspbian then this is a Raspbian OS container with Buster made by us . So once you have started this container it you can use it with port 22 and a terminal console (putty) to control it once you have mapped the port 22 during container start.

And yes of course you can use the commands 

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -upgrade
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

in our container.

But back to your mariadb. I do not know all details about the mariadb server and how it works. For me it is just a database. But let me ask you this ... does mariadb server have a web socket interface that allows access from remote stations over IP or it is just a local database that can only be used from local applications? I cannot answer this. Please answer this question first.

Thank you
