Question: does it work with mariadb?

Hi,

I am using MariaDb instead of Mysql container for my WordPress db. I know the two are largely compatible.

My question: do you know if this is supported?

Sorry I do not know and have not tested it, but you can give it a try

I got this working on docker swarm and mariadb - the only thing I wasn't able to solve was, being able to pass the database root / user passwords as files which I raised this issue for: angelo-v/wordpress-backup#35

1. I had to to give my service an alias of mysql so that the backup service could still see it on the network:

e.g

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb
    #restart: always
    networks:   
      maria-db:
        aliases: # https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/38066
          - mysql # required as backup container makes call on this hostname
          
# omitted for brevity

Finished: SUCCESS
