I am using InstantWP which installs a virtual server running Alpine Linux. InstantWP is for running a local version of Wordpress. It has MariaDB 10.1 installed, which isn't the latest version of mariadb.
So I try sudo apk add mariadb
. This returns an error:
WARNING: This apk-tools is OLD! Some packages might not function properly.
WARNING: The repository tag for world dependency 'apk-tools@edge' does not exist
ERROR: Not committing changes due to missing repository tags. Use --force to override.
I tried doing sudo apk update
and inspecting apk/repositories
is showing:
#/media/cdrom/apks
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/main
#http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.5/community
#http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community
#http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
Nothing seems to fix this. What is going on?
The main issue is when I import my sql file from MySQL 8.0 via phpmyadmin, it returns an error: #1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci'
and I read running the latest version of mariadb
might be the solution.
