You have a urgend need to re-invent the wheel, no?

Have a look at the offical mariab image Dockerfile,
be aware that it was written with debian:latest as base:

  https://github.com/docker-library/mariadb/blob/master/Dockerfile.template

or, be even more clever and look at the centos/mariadb image:

  https://hub.docker.com/r/centos/mariadb/
  https://github.com/CentOS/CentOS-Dockerfiles/tree/master/mariadb/centos7

I hope this gives you some pointers to avoid wasting time,
but, each to their own, find your pesonal way.

Have a nice weekend.
