Can Sytist Run On A Server Using Mariadb?

Figured it would be better to reply to a post about this topic than make a new one. 

I'm looking at moving my Sytist server db that we self-host locally to another device. The hardware in question does not support MySQL, but it supports MariaDB. I don't know if any requirements for Sytist have changed since 2022, but I saw a few people note they were running some version of Maria. There was no mention that they should not be doing that. I'm guessing it's an "at your own risk" situation, but I should be fine in theory, correct? 

essentially mariadb has become the successor to MySQL. MySQL transitioned to paid versions and then the open source community created mariadb.  Transitioning your data should be very simple. 

mysqldump -u root -pPassword database > /tmp/database.sql

new server:

mysql -u root -pPassword
create database database
exit

mysql -u root -pPassword database < /tmp/database.sql

I was wrong in my previous post.

Mariadb is fine and actually performs a little better than MySQL in my experience. 

Thanks Tim and Thomas for the feedback. This is great to hear!
