@williamperron Hey! Thank you very much for your interest in improving the documentation! One problem though: On a fresh install of Rocky Linux the only command that I have for mariadb is: mariadb-service-convert there is no other referenced commands using the mariadb prefix. It looks like this syntax may be true, perhaps in Rocky Linux 9, as the version that is shipped with Rocky Linux 8.5 is 10.3.32, whereas the command that you are referencing was introduced in mariadb 10.4.6.

We should probably wait to update the document to include the command until it is released within Rocky Linux. I'll leave the PR open for the moment so that you can comment further. Thanks again for your submission!!

@williamperron A little more research on my part: Mariadb 10.5 is available via module on Rocky Linux 8.5: dnf module list | grep mariadb:

mariadb              10.3 [d][e]      client, galera, server [d]               MariaDB Module                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
mariadb              10.5             client, galera, server [d]               MariaDB Module   

Let me try uninstalling that again and installing it via the 10.5 module and then see if the command exists there.

That does reveal the mariadb-secure-installation you were referring to. If you want to update your patch, you can walk people through enabling mariadb:10.5 module before the installation of mariadb-server and then include your command. By default, module 10.3 is enabled as shown in the module list above. Let me know how you want to continue! Thanks again!
