It has been a while since my last tinkering around VM machines on my laptop.
Today I just had little bit of time to install new Debian 13 server to play around with databases and bash scripting.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Debian 12/13 system with root or sudo access.
- An SSH client to connect to your server.
- A stable internet connection.
Installing MariaDB on Debian 13
Follow these steps to install and configure MariaDB on your Debian server:
1. Update package index
sudo apt update
2. Install MariaDB server
sudo apt install mariadb-server -y
3. Start MariaDB service
sudo systemctl start mariadb
4. Enable MariaDB to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
5. Run the secure installation script
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Installation will prompt to set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root login remotely and remove the test database. Follow the prompts and answer ‘Y’ or ‘N’ as needed.
6. (Optional) Log in to MariaDB to test
sudo mariadb -u root -p
7. (Optional) Check MariaDB service status
sudo systemctl status mariadb
