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!
