What happened?
The mariadb plugin's setup_db.sh script uses mysql_install_db when it should use mariadb-install-db. This results in a deprecation warning when the service is first started:
/tmp/mariadbtest/.devbox/nix/profile/default/bin/mysql_install_db: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use 'mariadb-install-db' insteadSteps to reproduce
mkdir /tmp/mariadbtest
cd /tmp/mariadbtest
devbox init
devbox add mariadb
devbox services upjturner@jturner-desktop:/tmp/mariadbtest$ devbox services up
