MariaDB not starting

Hi, not sure if I’m in the right section here, but I’m having problem installing/setting up mariaDB on a fresh HA installation.
so HA is on the absolute latest version and I am using this config

and in configuration.yaml
recorder:

db_url: mysq+pymysql://mymariadb:[email protected]/homeassistant?charset=utf8mb4

I tried this initially but didn’t work
recorder:

db_url: mysq+pymysql://mymariadb:SuperComplexPassword@core-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8mb4

Any pointers please? Thanks

try:

db_url: mysql://homeassistant:SuperComplexPassword@core-mariadb/homeassistant?charset=utf8

I have the mysql only ( no pymysql) with the utf8mb4 characterset
