Increase MariaDB Default Packet Size

Set max_allowed_packet=8M in /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf to prevent packet-too-large errors when storing builds in MariaDB.

Some data files (such as builds and configurations) are stored in MariaDB, so increase the maximum allowed packet size to avoid large-packet errors. For more information, refer to Packet Too Large in the MariaDB documentation.

JFrog recommends using an option file to permanently set the max_allowed_packet parameter in /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf. For example:

# The MariaDB server
[MariaDBd]

max_allowed_packet=8M
📘

If /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf does not exist, create the file under the absolute path and not under _$JFROG_HOME

After you modify this value, restart MariaDB.
