@Nono Edit your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and replace entries of ‘mysql-client’ with ‘mariadb-client’

I suspect they’ve updated the repo to solely exist for mariadb-client, but you had it before that package switch/change occurred so your fogsettings file is just expecting mysql-client always.

I might also recommend removing the existing mysql-client package just to ensure clean flow, though of course get a backup before any such actions.

@kratkale It’s already not working, so you updating the value on the Storage NOde (your second image there)

Isn’t going to hurt anything.

On the storage node, create a .my.cnf file in root’s home directory:

sudo tee /root/.my.cnf << ‘EOF’
[client]
skip-ssl = true
EOF

MariaDB will try to connect with SSL by default but that’s not enabled on the main FOG server. This is why I had to use the --ssl=FALSE flag when I connected to mysql manually.

The installation succeeded!
