The missing action for MariaDB 🎉

• Simpler than containers
• Works on Linux, Mac, and Windows
• Supports different versions

Add it as a step to your workflow

- uses: ankane/setup-mariadb@v1

The MariaDB version to download (if necessary) and use.

- uses: ankane/setup-mariadb@v1
  with:
    mariadb-version: "11.4"

Currently supports

Test against multiple versions

strategy:
  matrix:
    mariadb-version: ["11.4", "10.11", "10.6"]
steps:
  - uses: ankane/setup-mariadb@v1
    with:
      mariadb-version: ${{ matrix.mariadb-version }}

The database to create, example

- uses: ankane/setup-mariadb@v1
  with:
    database: testdb

Directory to cache MariaDB data. Defaults to ".cache/mariadb". The downloaded file will be saved in this directory, allowing you to cache the download using the GitHub actions/cache action for instance.

Server URL to download from. Defaults to "https://dlm.mariadb.com". This replaces the default download server URL.

This helps to be independent of rate-limiting from the original server.

Get options added to the download URL. Defaults to an empty string. By setting download_getopt to "KEY=TOKEN", ?KEY=TOKEN is appended to the download URL, allowing you to block non-authorized downloads from your server.

steps:
  - name: Setup MariaDB
    uses: arkane/setup-mariadb@v1
    with:
      mariadb-version: "10.6"
      database: "my_database"

In this basic example, MariaDB version 10.6 is used, and a database named 'my_database' is created. The other parameters are set to their default values.

steps:
  - name: Cache Files accross workflow sessions
    uses: actions/cache@v4
    with:
      path: .cache/mariadb
      # Example of a key, use a more appropriate one.
      key: ${{ runner.os }}-mariadb-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
      restore-keys: |
        ${{ runner.os }}-mariadb-

  - name: Setup MariaDB
    uses: arkane/setup-mariadb@v1
    with:
      mariadb-version: "10.6"
      database: "my_database"
      downloaddir: ".cache/mariadb"
