MySQL 8 + phpMyAdmin — the original SQL engine, required by Magento and native MySQL applications.
In validation
Automatic installation for this solution is ready and currently going through our tests on a real server. Ordering will open as soon as validation is complete.
MySQL 8 is the world's most widely used open-source relational database and the reference implementation of SQL. Unlike MariaDB, MySQL maintains its own proprietary extensions — native JSON columns with functional indexes, window functions, Common Table Expressions, InnoDB Cluster — that certain applications explicitly require.
The MySQL Stack template deploys a production-ready MySQL 8 instance with phpMyAdmin for web administration. It is the required database for Magento stores, certain Drupal distributions, and PHP applications that are tested against MySQL and not its forks.
Magento 2 and certain Drupal distributions explicitly require MySQL — MariaDB compatibility is not guaranteed for all releases.
Applications relying on MySQL JSON indexing, window functions or InnoDB Cluster that do not exist identically in MariaDB.
Run MySQL and MariaDB on the same VPS — they are isolated in separate Docker networks and do not interfere.
Guide optimized for ServOrbit Cloud VPS.
