Upgrade MariaDB 10.1 to MariaDB 10.2

Shutdown current MariaDB server

mysql -u root -p {-h remote.db.server}
SHUTDOWN;
exit

For safety, backup current database files

rsync -aP /var/lib/mysql /path/to/backup/
rsync -aP /etc/mysql /path/to/backup/mysql-config

Uninstall MariaDB 10.1

apt-get remove mariadb-server

Add or replace MariaDB 10.1 with MariaDB 10.2 repositories
You can find suitable server in https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories
My case use server in Thailand.
