  • mariadb-server: ^10.6
  • fontconfig
  • curl
  • zip
  • unzip
  • wget

4. Defining Database Access​

The following commands must be run in order to create the database and define access.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbrunner_db.* TO 'dbrunner_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY "password";

Database files are located under /var/lib/mysql by default. To do this, you can then define a separate mount point and move the files there.

dbrunner    hard nofile 40096
