MySQL 8 officially supported

baurmatt

Hey,

I’m trying to figure out if Kopano 8.7.x supports MySQL 8. The administration manual isn’t very clear about this:

MySQL, without an available MySQL Server the Kopano Server cannot run. There is no requirement to run Mysql Server on the same machine as the Kopano Server, therefor it is not a package dependency. MySQL version 4.0 or lower will not work correctly. KC is tested with the MySQL/MariaDB version provided by default by the supported distributions.

Sadly this very generic worded. In my experience it is unseen that an application supports the complete range of MySQL 4.0 - 8.0… Are there any other “official” sources which more clearly specify which versions of MySQL are supported?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
you’re right - there no explicit statement - we support Mysql8.
But if you take a look here
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/distributions-which-include-mariadb/
almost every distribution ships mariaDB…so I’d suggest to use mariaDB:-)
