Since we're restoring from .SQL files MariaDB 10 should be fine. I could 
possibly even install that on the server, though ideally I'd prefer to 
use MySQL 5.7 for the wiki as that's what I'm using for everything else.

TBH it probably doesn't matter as long as you export your final setup 
into SQL queries (like mysqldump does) as we could import them into 
MySQL. My only concern about that would be that the mysql database 
itself (user and privilege stuff) may not be compatible, so for those 
you'd need to keep a copy of the queries you use to create those users 
and permissions so we can re-run them on the final system.

If I were to install MariaDB on the server it would be version 10.5.8, 
so if you want to stick with MariaDB then I'd suggest working with that 
version.
