How does mariadb relate to mysqld?

So, it looks to me mysqld and mariadb are like aliases, but ZM only wants to start if the running service is named mariadb.

You’re on the right track:

Zoneminder, little issues

You’re probably right. The mysqld service is an hack. Back to ns7 early days I produced this ugly workaround to make our mysqld configuration backward-compatible: # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service .include mariadb.service I heard systemd has some kind of unit name “aliasing”. If true, configuring it would be the issue #1 solution. Added a project card here.
