OpenBSD install MariaDB database server

To install MariaDB on an OpenBSD system, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Enable the OpenBSD package repository: OpenBSD uses a package management system called pkg_add to install and manage software packages. To use pkg_add, you will need to enable the OpenBSD package repository. To do this, edit the /etc/pkg.conf file and add the following line:

url=http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`arch -s`/

This will enable the OpenBSD package repository for your system.

2. Install MariaDB: Once you have enabled the package repository, you can use the pkg_add command to install MariaDB. Run the following command to install the latest stable version of MariaDB:

pkg_add mariadb-server

This will install MariaDB on your system and create a new user and group called _mysql.

3. Start MariaDB: After installing MariaDB, you will need to start the MariaDB server. To do this, run the following command:

/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start

This will start the MariaDB server.

4. Secure MariaDB: After starting the MariaDB server, you should run the mysql_secure_installation script to secure the installation. This script will ask you a series of questions to set up the MariaDB root password, remove anonymous users, and disable remote root login. To run the script, enter the following command:

mysql_secure_installation

5. Test MariaDB: Once you have completed these steps, you can test your MariaDB installation by logging in to the MariaDB prompt. To do this, run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password that you set up in step 4 when prompted, and you will be logged in to the MariaDB prompt.

Keep in mind that these are just general steps, and your specific installation process may vary depending on your system's configuration. Consult the MariaDB documentation and the relevant OpenBSD documentation for more detailed information.
