Install mysql on Openwrt 22.03.5

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello everyone,
i'm looking for the "mysql" command on my OpenWRT router via the console. Which package do I use to install for the command?
My OpenWRT version is 22.03.5.
Greetings from Stefan Harbich

opkg update; opkg install mariadb-server

To things to consider:

  • mysql/ mariadb is a rather large package, with a high attack surface - running it on your border gateway is 'not ideal'
  • an sqld causes a lot of writes, this is a recipe for excessive flash wear (and killing the flash in short time), so you need an external (removable/ replaceable) storage location for its backend
