| fuxaches | If we're using mysql 8.0 for wordpress, will we be able to use mysql community in 2026 or do we need to consider postgresql or mariadb or something like that? | 03:44 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: My personal opinion is that postgresql would generally be your best option when it comes to databases at a large scale. If it's a smaller Wordpress instance, perhaps consider upgrading to a newer version of MySQL (or Ubuntu, which has a newer version of MySQL). | 03:55 |
| tsimonq2 | Which version of Ubuntu/Wordpress? | 03:56 |
| fuxaches | Ubuntu 24.04 server and mysql 8.0 and current WP version. I know it's fine until april 2026. But what happens after that? I would like to start to prepare now. | 04:04 |
| tsimonq2 | I doubt it'll be outright removed from the archive, that's pretty rare. Also, if it's in main, it'll still receive security patches. That being said, if it becomes EOL upstream, it's certainly wise to either move to a newer version of MySQL, depending on version availability, workload, and general server specifications. | 04:06 |
| fuxaches | tsimonq2: Yeah, I'm a little confused about the new mysql community edition... The license, to me, means you cannot. But, again, it's a little confusing to me. | 04:07 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: Not sure what you're referring to, if I'm being honest. That being said, if it's in the Ubuntu archive and especially in main, it Should comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and thus be pretty okay. | 04:08 |
| fuxaches | tsimonq2: Oracle seems to finally pulled the trigger on MySQL and divided it up into 3 products: Enterprise, Standard and Community. The 1st two have a cost attached and it looks the the license for community is different than what is for current MySQL 5.6/5.7.8.0. It seems 8.0 is EOL April, 2026. Thought people might be aware of this... | 04:12 |
| tsimonq2 | Meh, I'm not on the server team, I'm more on the desktop side of things :) | 04:13 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: But yeah, I think it should be fine (IANAL) | 04:13 |
| fuxaches | tsimonq2: Thanks for your time and input! | 04:17 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: You're welcome :) I might suggest you create something on discourse.ubuntu.com as well if you'd like to keep a discussion going. | 04:19 |
| tsimonq2 | We're slowly but surely phasing IRC out | 04:19 |
| fuxaches | Oh yeah? What's IRC transitioning to? | 04:21 |
| fuxaches | I guess; X, Facebook, etc.. | 04:22 |
| fuxaches | ... or are you just talking about this channel? | 04:23 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: Matrix :) | 04:30 |
| fuxaches | (⌐ ͡■ ͜ʖ ͡■) | 06:22 |
| moo3 | fuxaches: Where did you read about MySQL? I also want to migrate to MariaDB | 07:03 |
| fuxaches | moo3: it's convoluted af, but you can go to Oracle's website and clearly see that there a 3 flavors of MySQL now and two of em you pay for and it looks like the Community edition will be free for development purposes. | 07:07 |
| fuxaches | the ubuntu main repository still installs regular ole skool MySQL version 8.0xxx. If you look into the EOL for the product, it's April 2026 for 8.0 and 8.4 as best as I can tell is the new Community version. | 07:09 |
| tsimonq2 | fuxaches: Yeah, IIRC 25.04 will have 8.4 | 07:36 |
| tsimonq2 | not sure where that puts 24.04 | 07:36 |
| fuxaches | I think I am going to play it safe and ixnay MySQL and go with mariadb. I usually update my basement servers every 4 years with Ubuntu LTS, but I think I am going to build a test 24.04 with replacing MySQL with mariadb and start getting used to it... | 09:09 |
| * mgedmin likes postgresql | 09:18 | |
| patdk | heh, I found that to be a bad idea for me, unless you are still using things that are not mysql 8 compatable | 10:22 |
