Note: Network and LAN are different things here. You don't need a "running LAN" to have a (MariaDB, Mysql, PostgreSQL) server running. But conceptually, they offer their services at something which can be considered a network connection (be it a local TCP/IP socket or a Unix domain socket). > Is there a suitable tutorial for Debian 9 and whatever release of > MySql is in the repository? MySQL and MariaDB shouldn't be very different in this respect, I guess...
