Installation

Docker

docker run --name <your-container-name> -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<your-mariadb-root-password> -v <local-directory-absolute-path>:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ -p 3306:3306 -d mariadb

This command will download the latest mariadb image from Docker Hub if you don't have it locally, and initialize container's MariaDB.

Note: -v <local-directory-absolute-path>:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ is for initializing container's mariadb with a .sql file. You can mount a local directory containing .sql files. The .sql files will be executed in alphabetical order when the container starts. A common practice is to cd into the local directory containing the .sql files and type -v $PWD:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ instead of typing the absolute path.
