SonarQube cannot start with MariaDB 10

I installed MariaDB with yum in CentOS 7.

SonarQube throws this exception:

org.sonar.api.utils.MessageException: Unsupported mysql version: 5.5. Minimal supported version is 5.6.

When I reinstall MariaDB with version 10, SonarQube still throws the same exception.

How does SonarQube-5.5 detect the MySQL version?

The API of MariaDB 10 is compatible with MySQL 5.6 and CentOS 7 has replaced MySQL with MariaDB.

Why does it not support MariaDB 10?

Which databases does SonarQube support?

But you can use any one of the supported databases: Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, and of course MySQL. Once you've checked off the basic requirements, you can move on to installing SonarQube itself.

How do I start SonarQube on Linux?

To start sonar service, you need to use the script in sonarqube bin directory. Step 2: Navigate to the start script directory. Step 3: Start the sonarqube service. Step 4: Check the application status.

MariaDB is not supported by SonarQube, see requirements.
