Work in progress.

This swaps out db-type and db-version inputs for a more explicit db-image which contains values such as mysql:8.0 and mariadb:10.3.

The idea behind this is that we can be more explicit about differences between supported versions of MySQL and MariaDB without having to maintain confusing include and exclude rules that are hard to read. As someone who is not overly familiar with the available versions of each of the two, I find the matrices confusing. This should help a lot.

  • A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
  • Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
    it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.
