Tested: works in Breadstick

Pixel 10 Pro XL · Android 17 · Debian 13 · September 26, 2026MariaDB 11.8 set up a data directory with mariadb-install-db, and mariadbd, started by hand, served a socket and a TCP port, created an InnoDB table, stored and returned rows, and shut down cleanly.

Limits in Breadstick

You start the server by hand from the Terminal (mariadbd) with a data directory you can write to; its default port 3306 works.

MariaDB Server in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own mariadb-server package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, and a test on a device, above, saw it run. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands it gives you

mariadb-install-db
mariadbd-safe

aria_dump_log

wsrep_sst_common
wsrep_sst_mariabackup
wsrep_sst_mysqldump
wsrep_sst_rsync
wsrep_sst_rsync_wan

There is no systemd in Breadstick, so a database server does not start on its own: you start it by hand from the Terminal, and keep its data in your Linux home folder. Command line clients reach servers on the device or across the network. More in the docs: What Breadstick cannot do: the system itself.
