    BTW: I see that some pages say cPanel for Centos 8 is experimental, those pages are about version 92, but that's not in the installation page. Is currently experimental ? Or can we use it in production?

    The details that @quietFinn provided will let you specify the version of MySQL or MariaDB that gets installed on the machine, but that work needs to happen before the installation process starts. CentOS 8 is no longer experimental, although you may want to review some of the drama surrounding that version of the operating system before you commit to it, as it is only supported through December of this year.

    But this is solved with Almalinux, isn't it? I converted it to Almalinux before installing cpanel

    That's correct - if you've converted to AlmaLinux, you're all set!

    @CoolMike - I see we just updated the article 15 days ago to explain that version Centos/AlmaLinux 8 of the operating system only works with MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.5. The older versions would only be supported if you were using CentOS 7/CloudLinux 7.

    Hello guys. Now I installed cPanel v106 on a fresh server with Almalinux 8 without knowing this and it is not providing options to upgrade to MariaDB. Only MySQL 8 is present. Even afterrunning upcp --force it is not offered as an option. Why is this working so? And why is not weird? Is it a bug?

    I'm looking and answer to upgrade MySQL to MariaDB on Almalinux 8 without reinstalling the entire OS from the top. Please provide a way to do that.

    Hi all, Same here, I only get MySQL 8 option in AlmaLinux 8, there is no MariaDB option to select.

    MariaDB is considered a downgrade from MySQL 8, so there is no way to make that switch. If you want MariaDB on an AlmaLinx 8 machine, you'd need to set that up from the start before cPanel is installed by adjusting our installation flags as outlined here:
