## How do I upgrade MariaDB ?

Initially, MariaDB was at version 11.4 LTS.
In case you want to upgrade to a different version, for instance [11.8 LTS](https://mariadb.org/11-8-is-lts/), use the below steps:

* Open the MariaDB.repo file in any text editor.

```shell
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo
```

* Modify the **baseurl** variable to match the desired version, for instance `11.8` instead of `11.4`.
* Clean dnf cache

```shell
sudo dnf clean all
```

* Stop MariaDB

```shell
sudo systemctl stop mariadb
```

* Upgrade MariaDB

```shell
sudo dnf update -y
```

* Start MariaDB

```shell
sudo systemctl start mariadb
```

* Upgrade databases

```shell
sudo mariadb-upgrade -uroot -p
```

* Restart MariaDB

```shell
sudo systemctl restart mariadb
```
