I have installed the above, and it runs nice and smooth in a node app for teaching.
That is if I start mariadb from the CLI.
If I try to put
mariadb=YES
into /etc/rc.conf and reboot, the xconsole says “mariadb started” but there is
no trace of it, and I still have to start it manually.
The log files give no clues.
Does anyone have a good idea?
Looks like the issue described here:

Please try this patch (loose lips sink scripts, eh?):
