[SOLVED] MariaDB Columnstore CONNECT Engine installation

Issue

I want to install MariaDB Columnstore using Docker: image.

However, the base image has no CONNECT Engine installed. Therefore I need to install it myself. Since the image is based on RHEL distribution (Rockylinux), I need to use either yum or dnf. According to the docs, I need to install 2 packages. For that reason I created a Dockerfile:

FROM mariadb/columnstore:latest
RUN sudo yum install MariaDB-connect-engine
RUN sudo yum -y install unixODBC #you need to add -y otherwise it will fail

Unfortunately the second line returns an error:

No match for argument: MariaDB-connect-engine
Error: Unable to find a match: MariaDB-connect-engine

I interpret this as there is no such package in yum repository. If I use "dnf", the result is the same.

Is it called differently now and the docs are not up-to-date? Or how could I solve this problem?

Solution

The repo file has been removed.

Download a new one from: https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config&d=Red+Hat+Enterprise+Linux+8&v=11.1

mariadb.repo:

[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = https://rpm.mariadb.org/11.1/rhel/$releasever/$basearch
module_hotfixes = 1
gpgkey = https://rpm.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck = 1

Dockerfile:

FROM mariadb/columnstore:latest
COPY mariadb.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
RUN yum install -y MariaDB-connect-engine unixODBC

STEP 1/3: FROM mariadb/columnstore:latest
STEP 2/3: COPY mariadb.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
--> 8625abda63e5
STEP 3/3: RUN yum install -y MariaDB-connect-engine unixODBC
