Description
Feature Request
I would really appreciate if you added a very trivial documentation bit, that costed me hours and hours of walls headbutting.
Use case:
- user is new to MariaDB (my own case)
- user wants to encrypt the database with the Hashicorp Vault key management plugin.
I installed MariaDB, but I did not find anywhere in the documentation that the Hashicorp Vault key management shared library / plugin has to be installed separately, from where and how to do it.
Basically, somewhere in the Hashicorp Vault key management plugin documentation, please add some text like:
The Hashicorp Vault key management plugin does not come installed by default".
You have to install it by issuing the following command:
apt install mariadb-plugin-hashicorp-key-management
(The above, of course, is for Ubuntu etc., add yum statements etc.)
Thank you. I really wish I knew this simple info before spending hours wondering why the server did not start and why the plugin was not present.
