Thanks for posting this suggestion. Just saw it now. Will need to put my thinking cap and do some tinkering.
Also looking at the Joomla path!
Off the top of my head I guess that this workflow is just plugging MAMP into another MySQL data base management system that is not “managed/maintained ...
Pretty late to the MAMP party here.
Could really do with MySQL 8+ for Joomla 5
Feels as if the DJ has run for the hills and people are moving on…
Please prove my gut feeling wrong!
Any one at home?
