Important Notes

Always use a version when installing things if you don't want things to break when you do updates
- I.e. php7.3-common instead of php-common

Installing MariaDB

Securing for Production

MariaDB and MySQL provide a bash command mysql_secure_installation.
This command does the following:

Sets a root password
Remove anonymous users
Disallow root login remotely
Removes test databases

sudo mysql_secure_installation
