+Configure MariaDB / MySQL for ownCloud
+======================================
+
+To use MariaDB / MySQL as database backend, you need to do the following:
+
+1. Make sure that your mysql service is configured and running properly. If this
+ is a fresh install, you will need to run "systemctl enable mysqld.service;
+ systemctl start mysqld.service" (or mariadb.service) as root. It's also
+ strongly advised to run "mysql_secure_installation" after starting the
+ database for the first time.
+
+2. Log in to the database as privileged user to create the database and a
+ dedicated user account for ownCloud:
+ $ mysql -u root -p
+ CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
+ CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS owncloud;
+ GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
+ Choose identifier and password accordingly.
+
+Now you can launch the ownCloud setup screen, select MySQL in the advanced
+settings and fill in your credentials.
