switch to mariadb instead of mysql

[eryan]

I’m trying to install FOG onto a server in an enterprise environment in which we use mariadb rather than mysql-server. The server is Ubuntu 16.04 and I’m installing FOG 1.4.4. How can I signal to the installer that I want to use mariadb instead of MySQL? Do I need to actually modify the bin/installfog.sh or configure.sh scripts?

What I might recommend, is there a particular reason the FOG server requires mariadb? If you’re just trying to centrally manage the db you can specify an alternate snmysqlhost, snmysqluser, and snmysqlpass directly through the installer.

The command to do such a thing would be:

snmysqlhost=10.10.10.10 snmysqluser='root' snmysqluser='passwordforcentralsql' ./installfog.sh -y
