⭐ StartMariadb

StartMariadb provisions MariaDB databases through the same 7-step pipeline every engine follows (see StartActions Overview). MariaDB's own specifics — SSL support, cert mount path, healthcheck probe — are covered in the database-provisioning-engines.html, alongside the other 7 engines, rather than repeated here.

Notably, its healthcheck uses the MariaDB image's own healthcheck.sh --connect --innodb_initialized script, not mysqladmin ping — despite sharing MySQL's wire protocol, it's provisioned as a genuinely distinct engine, not an alias for MySQL. Supports SSL/TLS through the shared SSL Subsystem.
