According to Plesk Changelog, MariaDB 10.11 is supported since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.52, right ?
Per your policy, there appears to be a delay in providing support for newer major versions of MariaDB:
"(MariaDB 10.7 and later) Plesk supports each stable version of MariaDB as a remote database server. Plesk introduces the support within one month after a stable MariaDB release."
While the stable release of MariaDB 11.0.2 occurred on 2023-06-07, which is more than 2.5 months ago, it seems that support for this version has not been implemented yet. Is there a specific issue or complication hindering the adoption of this major version upgrade?
To refresh, the stable releases of 11.0.3 and 11.1.2 took place on 2023-08-14 and 2023-08-21, respectively. Accordingly, these versions should be eligible for support by 2023-09-14 and 2023-09-21. You can verify this information here: Source link
From the linked doc page, “MariaDB 10.6 is the last database version that falls under the old release model and has a five-year maintenance period (long-term support).” Since then there were also LTS for 10.11, 11.4, and 11.7. Do those also require setup as a “remote database server”?
H ITS Inc i will ask our team to update the corresponding documentation.
You can have local databases up to 11.4 but not for higher than 11.4.
