#MariaDB

type: mariadb — produces a logical dump using mariadb-dump when available, falling back to mysqldump.

The configuration is identical to MySQL — both tools accept the same flags. snapr's source picks the binary at runtime; you do not select it in the config.

#Prerequisites

• Either mariadb-dump (preferred) or mysqldump must be installed on the snapr host and available in PATH.
• Install via the mariadb-client package on Debian/Ubuntu (provides mariadb-dump), or mysql-client for the fallback.
• The backup user needs the same grants as MySQL: at minimum SELECT, LOCK TABLES, SHOW VIEW, EVENT, TRIGGER, PROCESS.

#Fields

Same as MySQL. All options apply.

#Example

sources:
  - type: mariadb
    host: db.internal
    port: 3306
    username: backup
    password: env:MARIADB_PASSWORD
    database: app
    extraParams:
      single-transaction: ''

#Example — all databases

sources:
  - type: mariadb
    host: db.internal
    username: backup
    password: env:MARIADB_PASSWORD
    allDatabases: true

#Notes

• snapr first looks up mariadb-dump in PATH; if missing, it falls back to mysqldump. Install at least one.
• For mixed MySQL/MariaDB hosts, prefer the matching client package — flag compatibility is good but not perfect across major versions.
