[malcalevak]

Name and Version

bitnami/mariadb:latest

What architecture are you using?

None

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Adding the environment variable MARIADB_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD set to anything

What is the expected behavior?

The container runs, and a random root password is created and output in the container logs, e.g.:

2024-06-24 17:46:16 2024-06-24 21:46:16+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: GENERATED ROOT PASSWORD: `[A_beL5!?IY?3GnHV|H5.^VX#mM7$Ir

What do you see instead?

2024-06-24 17:50:05 mariadb 21:50:05.49 ERROR ==> The MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable is empty or not set. Set the environment variable ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes to allow the container to be started with blank passwords. This is recommended only for development.

Additional information

The official mariadb image works as expected.
