I was trying to install Moodle LMS using ddev.

-- The problem is that Moodle requires mariadb 10.6, whilst ddev only supports mariadb 10.4.

Steps tried:

  1. change the .ddev/config.ph docker file from 10.4 to 10.6 <-- didn't work.
  2. when given the install page in Moodle - it complaining about Moodle not meetings its requirements.
  3. DDEV has instruction on their site - for such an install. But, I suspect its out o date.
  4. I tried deleting the docker image mariadb10.4, hoping it would upgrade - no luck.
  5. the ddev exec below: will not work at all.
  6. should I try podman instead?

any ideas or suggestions.

thank Carlo

ddev config --composer-root=public --create-docroot --docroot=public --webserver-type=apache-fpm
ddev start
ddev composer create moodle/moodle -y
ddev exec 'php public/admin/cli/install.php --non-interactive --agree-license --wwwroot=$DDEV_PRIMARY_URL --dbtype=mariadb --dbhost=db --dbname=db --dbuser=db --dbpass=db --fullname="DDEV Moodle Demo" --shortname=Demo --adminpass=password'
ddev launch /login

I tried everything I could think of.

DDEV supports many, many MariaDB versions, including 10.8 and 10.11.

You'll find the quickstart for Moodle in the DDEV docs.

ddev config --composer-root=public --create-docroot --docroot=public --webserver-type=apache-fpm
ddev start
ddev composer create moodle/moodle -y
ddev exec 'php public/admin/cli/install.php --non-interactive --agree-license --wwwroot=$DDEV_PRIMARY_URL --dbtype=mariadb --dbhost=db --dbname=db --dbuser=db --dbpass=db --fullname="DDEV Moodle Demo" --shortname=Demo --adminpass=password'
ddev launch /login

I do see that the DDEV quickstart doesn't have the updated database requirement, but you can fix that with ddev config --database=mariadb:10.6

(The Moodle quickstart has been updated to show mariadb 10.6.)
