How to install mysql-server on Debian?

+2
−0

With Debian 12, it seems that mysql-server is not available in the "default" package distribution and thus, cannot be installed with sudo apt install mysql-server or sudo apt-get... (I know that mariadb-server can be installed with these methods).

Is there a way to install mysql-server on Debian?

My impression is that the Debian maintainers recommend switching to MariaDB. Are there scenarios where this is not acceptable?

I don't know (I know nothing about databases in general) but I would be glad to know the answer ;). I just wanted to follow this workflow in order to install my own instance of QPixel on Debian. I switched to MariaDB for the moment but I wonder if I could use MySQL in order to stick with the advised workflow (to avoid any future problem because I'm not able to solve problems at this time, I'm a newbie on this topic). I also thought that other newbies like me would be happy to have the info...

There shouldn't be any future problem. MariaDB was specifically designed to be a drop in replacement for MySQL, in exactly this type of situation.
