Is v13 really incompatible with MariaDB 11.8?

TYPO3 Questions Installation

Hi,

Debian 13 “trixie” is coming with MariaDB 11.8 as a default. The system requirements for v13 are defined as:

MariaDB >= 10.4.3 <= 10.99.99

Does Typo3 v13 really not cooperate well with MariaDB 11.8 ? Or is it unknown? Or not recommended?

kind regards,

Eugen

Hi @euneuber!

I had to ask around to find a good answer to this. Here’s as far as I understand:

TYPO3’s database interaction depends on Doctrine DBAL and its database support.

There are reports on things working well with certain MariaDB 11 versions. However, the core tests aren’t always happy, so the TYPO3 core is not officially tagged as supporting MariaDB 11.

I don’t know how comfortable you are with the deeper end of TYPO3, you can probably help by testing TYPO3 on a MariaDB 11.8 environment and trying to fix any failing core tests.

Thank you for your answer! Is there a special place/forum to discuss this topic?

We will stay on MariaDB 10.x for now.

That would be the #typo3-cms-coredev channel on TYPO3 Slack. I was referred to this thread.
