MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB

+1, our production server recommends MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 5.7 is an option whereas MySQL 5.6 is labeled as “near end of life”. I’d like to be able to run the same version in dev as on the production server.

+1 for 5.7 on custom environments. Why is it available for the Flywheel “preferred”, but not for custom?

Yep. I mean MySQL 5.5 (MariaDB 10.0) and 5.6 (MariaDB 10.1) are not even supported anymore.
They expired in 2015 and 2018.

Even MySQL 5.7 (MariaDB 10.2), introduced in 2015, expires next year!

Anyone needing a specific PHP version (or web server config) is virtually required to choose an expired version of MySQL in their Flywheel Local.
This defeats the major advertising point of Flywheel Local.
And sets us back at square one, trying to troubleshoot, maintain, and develop sites locally - with an environment similar to and compatible with our live web servers.

It is mindboggling why MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.2 is not available in Custom Environment options.
Actually, it’s more mind boggling to wonder why only expired, incompatible, versions are offered.

Agreed! +1 for MariaDB!
We have MariaDB in production and would prefer if our local environments were identical.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to clean up the forums and close out old feature requests.

Since this is one of the highest voted features I wanted to check in on the status.

The latest version of Local (v5.10.5 as of this reply) has both MySQL 5.7.28 and MySQL 8.0.16

Since the “MySQL” part of this feature request is complete, I’m going to go ahead and mark this as “solved.”

For those of you that are wanting MariaDB support, please up-vote this MariaDB focused feature request:
