+ MariaDB has been updated to 10.4, MariaDB Galera to 26.4.
+ Before you upgrade, it would be best to take a backup of your database.
+ For MariaDB Galera Cluster, see <link xlink:href="https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-103-to-mariadb-104-with-galera-cluster/">Upgrading
+ from MariaDB 10.3 to MariaDB 10.4 with Galera Cluster</link> instead.
+ Before doing the upgrade read <link xlink:href="https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-103-to-mariadb-104/#incompatible-changes-between-103-and-104">Incompatible
+ Changes Between 10.3 and 10.4</link>.
+ After the upgrade you will need to run <literal>mysql_upgrade</literal>.
+ MariaDB 10.4 introduces a number of changes to the authentication process, intended to make things easier and more
+ intuitive. See <link xlink:href="https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-from-mariadb-104/">Authentication from MariaDB 10.4</link>.
+ unix_socket auth plugin does not use a password, and uses the connecting user's UID instead. When a new MariaDB data directory is initialized, two MariaDB users are
+ created and can be used with new unix_socket auth plugin, as well as traditional mysql_native_password plugin: root@localhost and mysql@localhost. To actually use
+ the traditional mysql_native_password plugin method, one must run the following:
+<programlisting>
+services.mysql.initialScript = pkgs.writeText "mariadb-init.sql" ''
+ ALTER USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD("verysecret");
+'';
+</programlisting>
+ When MariaDB data directory is just upgraded (not initialized), the users are not created or modified.

+ MySQL server is now started with additional systemd sandbox/hardening options for better security. The PrivateTmp, ProtectHome, and ProtectSystem options
+ may be problematic when MySQL is attempting to read from or write to your filesystem anywhere outside of its own state directory, for example when
+ calling <literal>LOAD DATA INFILE or SELECT * INTO OUTFILE</literal>. In this scenario a variant of the following may be required:
+ - allow MySQL to read from /home and /tmp directories when using <literal>LOAD DATA INFILE</literal>
+<programlisting>
+systemd.services.mysql.serviceConfig.ProtectHome = lib.mkForce "read-only";
+</programlisting>
+ - allow MySQL to write to custom folder <literal>/var/data</literal> when using <literal>SELECT * INTO OUTFILE</literal>, assuming the mysql user has write
+ access to <literal>/var/data</literal>
+<programlisting>
+systemd.services.mysql.serviceConfig.ReadWritePaths = [ "/var/data" ];
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The MySQL service no longer runs its <literal>systemd</literal> service startup script as <literal>root</literal> anymore. A dedicated non <literal>root</literal>
+ super user account is required for operation. This means users with an existing MySQL or MariaDB database server are required to run the following SQL statements
+ as a super admin user before upgrading:
+<programlisting>
+CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'mysql'@'localhost' identified with unix_socket;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'mysql'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
+</programlisting>
+ If you use MySQL instead of MariaDB please replace <literal>unix_socket</literal> with <literal>auth_socket</literal>. If you have changed the value of <xref linkend="opt-services.mysql.user"/>
+ from the default of <literal>mysql</literal> to a different user please change <literal>'mysql'@'localhost'</literal> to the corresponding user instead.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The new option <link linkend="opt-documentation.man.generateCaches">documentation.man.generateCaches</link>
+ has been added to automatically generate the <literal>man-db</literal> caches, which are needed by utilities
+ like <command>whatis</command> and <command>apropos</command>. The caches are generated during the build of
+ the NixOS configuration: since this can be expensive when a large number of packages are installed, the

+ If you are using Zabbix Server with a MySQL or MariaDB database you should note that using a character set of <literal>utf8</literal> and a collate of <literal>utf8_bin</literal> has become mandatory with
+ this release. See the upstream <link xlink:href="https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-17357">issue</link> for further discussion. Before upgrading you should check the character set and collation used by
+ your database and ensure they are correct:
+<programlisting>
+ SELECT
+ default_character_set_name,
+ default_collation_name
+ FROM
+ information_schema.schemata
+ WHERE
+ schema_name = 'zabbix';
+</programlisting>
+ If these values are not correct you should take a backup of your database and convert the character set and collation as required. Here is an
+ <link xlink:href="https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/396573-reinstall-after-upgrade?p=396891#post396891">example</link> of how to do so, taken from
+ the Zabbix forums:
+<programlisting>
+ ALTER DATABASE `zabbix` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
+
+ -- the following will produce a list of SQL commands you should subsequently execute
+ SELECT CONCAT("ALTER TABLE ", TABLE_NAME," CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;") AS ExecuteTheString

+ their configuration is changed. Services which reload nginx and httpd after
+ certificate renewal are now properly configured too so you no longer have
+ to do this manually if you are using HTTPS enabled virtual hosts. A mechanism
