Sub-task
part of ZBX-22960 LTS MariaDB 10.6.1->10.6.14+ CE/EE ca... Confirmed

 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/devel/en/manual/installation/requirements

10.5.00-11.2.X InnoDB engine is required.

The recommended version is 10.5.

We recommend using the MariaDB Connector/C library for building server/proxy.

See also: Possible deadlocks with MariaDB.

Result:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-server-release-dates/:

10.7 -> 10.10 already not supported by MariaDB
10.5 -> support ends in 1 year
10.6 -> support ends in 2 years

Expected:
For LTS 7.0 with 5 year support consider using recent LTS version of a MariaDB database.

Works OOB:

  • 10.11.+ (recommended in a requirements)
  • 10.6.+ (due to the Enterprise version of MariaDB)

Works with AllowUnsupportedDBVersions:

  • 10.5.+

Not able to start even with AllowUnsupportedDBVersions:

  • 10.7-10.10
  • <10.5

Make base and recommended version: MariaDB 10.11 (such version even provided by recent Debian 12.x), also there is no issue to install it from official MariaDB repository.

It would be best if AllowUnsupportedDBVersions would allow everything but just write warning in frontend.
