DietPi OS for ROCK64

[MichaIng]

I want to run WordPress on this but can't get mysql-server installed. I don't want to install the mariadb-server they say 100% compatible but using this as a backup and want to copy my WordPress database to it. If I install mariadb-server I get errors.

So how can I install mysql-server?

This is on a Recon Sentinel Rock64.

Found out how to install mysql-server on it.

It the /etc/apt/sources.list

Added this one line.

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

Then these commands:

apt update
apt install mysql-server

It works. It has lots of other updates but after I installed the mysql-server I put a # before that line. I am not sure if them updates will break it or not.

Thank you.

Be very careful when adding the Sid repo. The way you added it, you are practically on an unsupported developer playground now. Two years too late now  but for anyone landing here, create a preferences config to allow pulling MySQL packages only from Sid, but nothing else:

Code:

cat << '_EOF_' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mysql-sid
Package: *
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: src:mysql*
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: 500
_EOF_
