The MariaDB server *is* conceptually a network server, as is the
MySQL server (but see below).

I don't understand this statement...

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).

I guess...
