Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?

Hello,

My current CWP install has mariadb 10.5.27.

And I correct in thinking mariadb 10.5.x support has expired recently ?

Do the developers have any plans to update mariadb to 10.11 or possibly 11.x any time soon in an update preserving database contents ?

Or do the developers and or anyone in the community have a set of working instruction on how to update mariadb to 10.11 or possibly 11.x for Almalinux 9.5 that does not break the CWP install ?

Thanks.

MariaDB 10.11 is a LTS version

MariaDB after 11.4 changed some commands, and hasn't been tested with CWP yet.


Here's how to upgrade it manually.
Make sure to follow every step, or it will fail.

Here's a good matrix of support windows for MariaDB versions. I am running MariaDB 10.11 LTS across all my servers. (11.x branch will wait for another day...)

Interesting how 11.8 LTS ends before 11.4 LTS does.

But that's also when they implemented their 'Enterprise' paid support.

What I noticed in testing 11.4, it was running in compatibility mode because of some of the commands coming from CWP to MariaDB.
I think I mentioned that in another thread long ago, that CWP will have to update the coding, but then could to be backwards compatible to prior MariaDB versions.

But they have until the end of Q2 2029 to figure that one out.
