Coming to this belatedly, having only just tried MariaDB on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.
I installed [email protected] via Homebrew. I had the same problem, namely that it wouldn't be running until I'd logged in as a user on the Mac.
The changes which appear to have made the difference were: 1) Setting permissions of the [email protected] file so 'system' is the owner. 2) Placing the [email protected] file into /Library/LaunchAgents rather than LaunchDaemons.
MariaDB has now started successfully on the several occasions the Mac has been restarted over the last 48 hours.
The /Library/LaunchAgents/[email protected] file contains:
