This is a Dockerfile setup for mariadb v5.5 - https://mariadb.org/⁠

To run:

docker run -d --name="mariadb" -v /path/to/db:/db -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 3306:3306 needo/mariadb

FIRST TIME USERS

A completely empty database will be generated upon first run. You must secure it by creating users and passwords.

RETURNING USERS

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL DATABASE FIRST! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS

Put your previous mysql or mariadb data directory in /path/to/db/

For example a freshly generated /path/to/db/ looks like...
