As of January 2022, current MariaDB Server GA versions are formally not supported on macOS 10.x and 11.y. But it's relatively easy to set up the environment and build it from current 10.2 - 10.7 GitHub sources, with few minor issues to resolve in the process depending on macOS and major server version used. This talk is a summary of Valerii's experience, with a quick review of related fixed and open bugs, as well as some unique features like DTrace support that one may benefit from on macOS.
