This Docker image (linuxcontainers/mariadb) is based on the minimal Debian Linux.
This docker image is the base Debian 12 Slim Linux for MariaDB 11.5.x and Debian 12 Slim. For more info on versions & support see Releases
It is an evolution of MariaDB 11.5 with several entirely new features not found anywhere else and with backported and reimplemented features from MySQL.
Debian is an operating system which is composed primarily of free and open-source software, most of which is under the GNU General Public License, and developed by a group of individuals known as the Debian project. Debian is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for several other Linux distributions.
MariaDB Server is one of the most popular open source relational databases. It’s made by the original developers of MySQL and guaranteed to stay open source. It is part of most cloud offerings and the default in most Linux distributions.

Each image pushed to Docker Hub and the Github Container Registry is tagged as follows:
- The tag
latestindicates, well, the latest image. - Tags of the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (such as 10.6) indicate the SemVer of the MariaDB image used as the base.
- Tags of the form MAJOR.MINOR (e.g., 10) correspond to the most recent patch level of the MariaDB image used as the base. For example, if 10.6 is the latest release, then 10 maps to this as well.
- Tags of the form MAJOR (e.g., 10) correspond to the most recent patch level of the MariaDB image used as the base, with major corresponding major version. For example, if 10.6 is the latest release, then 10 maps to this as well.
Semantic Versioning uses version numbers of the form: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, where differences in MAJOR correspond to incompatible changes, differences in MINOR correspond to introduction of backwards compatible new functionality, and PATCH corres ponds to backwards compatible bug fixes.
The pre-built image is hosted on both Docker Hub and the Github Container Registry. You can use it in the following ways.
Pull the latest image from Docker Hub with the following (replace latest with
a specific version number if you prefer):
docker pull linuxcontainers/mariadb:latest
Pull from the Github Container Registry with:
docker pull ghcr.io/linuxcontainers/mariadb:latest
Use as a base image in a Dockerfile (replace latest with
a specific version number if you prefer):
FROM linuxcontainers/mariadb:latest
# The rest of your Dockerfile would go here.Or you can use as a base image (via the Github Container Registry) with:
FROM ghcr.io/linuxcontainers/mariadb:latest
# The rest of your Dockerfile would go here.A specific example usage can be found in the [Dockerfile of the generate-sitemap Github action](https://github.com/marketplace/action s/generate-sitemap).
