MariaDB 11.8 compatibility issues with Nextcloud stable32 stable33 stable34

💡 Result:

As of June 9, 2026, MariaDB 11.8 is officially listed as a recommended database version in the current Nextcloud documentation [1][2]. Nextcloud support for MariaDB 11.8 has been integrated into the platform, and the version is included in the latest system requirements [1][2]. While earlier iterations of Nextcloud (such as those preceding official 11.8 support) may have generated warnings when detecting MariaDB 11.8—due to factors like new reserved keywords (e.g., "vector") causing issues with specific apps like Recognize [3][4][5]—these have been addressed in the main server codebase [3]. Key points regarding compatibility: - Version Status: MariaDB 11.8 is now a recognized and recommended LTS version for use with current Nextcloud stable releases [1][2]. - Warnings: Users running older Nextcloud versions or instances that have not been fully updated may encounter warnings suggesting MariaDB versions up to 11.4 [4][5]. These warnings were precautionary and largely related to the validation of untested configurations [5]. - App Compatibility: While the core Nextcloud server is compatible, ensure that all installed third-party apps are up to date, as some older app versions may have encountered issues with new MariaDB reserved keywords introduced in 11.8 [3][4]. For the best experience with stable32, stable33, and stable34, ensure you are running the latest point releases of your specific Nextcloud version, as support and compatibility fixes are typically backported to these stable branches [3][5]. Always refer to the specific System Requirements page in your installed instance's Administration Manual for the most accurate information relative to your exact version [6].

Fix GHCR MariaDB 11.8 image pullability before merging

• .github/workflows/test.yml points to ghcr.io/nextcloud/continuous-integration-mariadb-11.8:latest, but docker manifest inspect fails (“not found or not accessible”), so the CI mariadb-service is likely to break when the workflow tries to pull it.
• Nextcloud’s system requirements indicate MariaDB 11.8 is supported/recommended for the relevant stable lines, so compatibility should be OK once the correct/pullable GHCR image tag is used.
