Increase MariaDB Default Packet Size

Since some data files (like builds and configurations) are stored in MariaDB, it is extremely important to increase the maximum allowed packet size used by MariaDB to avoid errors related to large packets. For more information, refer to Packet Too Large in the MariaDB documentation.

JFrog recommends that you use an option file to permanently modify the value of the max_allowed_packet parameter in the /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf configuration file. 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.
