How to dump mariadb database with file access only?

Question

MariaDB

There is a screw with a non-working system, but a completely whole file system on which mariadb was, is it possible to dump it with only access to the database directory? It is necessary to transfer this basis to other server.

Answer 1

I would try to raise the docker container with the desired version of mariadb , by mapping the database directory into the container.
If the container starts up successfully, do a dump using regular means.

Answer 2

why do you need a dump? copy the database directory to the new server, run mariadb there and everything should work.
