Upgrading Between Minor MariaDB Versions

Steps for minor version upgrades (e.g., 10.5.8 to 10.5.9) on Linux, which typically involve package manager updates and a service restart.

For Windows, see Upgrading MariaDB on Windows instead.

Before you upgrade, it would be best to take a backup of your database. This is always a good idea to do before an upgrade. We would recommend mariadb-backup.

To upgrade between minor versions of MariaDB on Linux/Unix (for example from MariaDB 10.11.4 to MariaDB 10.11.5), the following procedure is suggested:

1. Stop MariaDB.

2. Uninstall the old version of MariaDB.

3. Install the new version of MariaDB.

• On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with APT for more information.

• On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with YUM for more information.

• On SLES, OpenSUSE, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with ZYpp for more information.

1. Make any desired changes to configuration options in option files, such as my.cnf.

2. Start MariaDB.
