How do I start MariaDB on boot on Mac OS X?

Question

Just installed MariaDB (with homebrew). Everything looks like it\'s working, but I can\'t figure out how to have it automatically startup on boot on my Mac. I can\'t find any

Answer 1

If you install MariaDB by Homebrew, you can use this to see how to start your mariadb at login.

brew info mariadb

To have launchd start mariadb at login:

ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mariadb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then to load mariadb now:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mariadb.plist

Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:

mysql.server start
