Does Cyberpanel supports using MySQL as DB engine (not Maria DB)

hello,

In the Cyberpanel I can see it is mentioned MySQL DB as DB engine or MySQL DB Manager , but when you install the CyberPanel with a local DB it is always MariaDB installed. Does this mean MySQL is not supported, but it says MySQL since MariaDB is a fork of MySQL ? Does any paid feature add the support for using MySQL engine with Cyberpanel not Maria DB ? Thanks

My understanding is that it depends on what the MySQL server for your OS is. In the case of AlmaLinux (9 at least), it defaults to MariaDB. You are welcome to uninstall MariaDB and then swap to MySQL, but I guess you will have all sorts of issues upgrading in future.

Since MySQL and MariaDB is binary compatible, I suppose you have a different reason for asking about MySQL support.

As far as I know it is not a paid feature.

On CentOS 7 (Now deprecated) I recall that MySQL was used since that was the OS default.

MariaDB is the current database system in CyberPanel.
There is no paid way to get MySQL, just like @CarlSwart said.
