Azure DevOps Pipeline local MariaDB - azure-devops

Question

I want to migrate my github action pipeline to azure devops, unfortunally i wasn't able to find an alternative to the github action "ankane/setup-mariadb#v1".
For my pipline I need to create a local mariadb with a database loaded from a .sql file.
I also need to create a user for that database.
This was my code in my github pipeline:
- name: Installing MariaDB
uses: ankane/setup-mariadb#v1
with:
mariadb-version: ${{ matrix.mariadb-version }}
database: DatabaseName
- name: Creating MariaDB User
run: |
sudo mysql -D DatabaseName -e "CREATE USER 'Username'#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';"
sudo mysql -D DatabaseName -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DatabaseName.* TO 'Username'#localhost;"
sudo mysql -D DatabaseName -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
- name: Importing Database
run: |
sudo mysql -D DatabaseName < ./test/database.sql
Does anybody know if there is a alternative for azure devops pipelines?
Cheers,

Does anybody know if there is a alternative for azure devops
pipelines?
If the alternative you mentioned means some tasks in Azure DevOps pipeline can do the similar thing as 'ankane/setup-mariadb#v1' in GitHub, then the answer is NO.
DevOps doesn't have a 'build_in' task like this, even the marketplace also doesn't have a extension to do this.
So you have two ways:
1, If your pipeline based on Microsoft hosted agent, everything should be set up via command:

2, If your pipeline based on self hosted agent, then you can 'set up' the environment(MariaDB) before start the pipeline. And then use it in your DevOps pipeline.
