After installing MariaDB when I try to activate MariaDB, I get the error Can’t lock aria control file. Installation of system table failed.
Has anyone successfully used MariaDB on droplets?

Is mysql/mariadb already running? You’ll have to kill the process before you can run that command.
Finally, decided to uninstall MariaDB and install MySQL. It appears lot more information is available to migrate from MySQL to MariaDB but not enough to start using MariaDB from scratch. Once I have MySQL installed, configured and running, I may consider to do drop in upgrade to MariaDB.
