Description
Describe your Issue
Since a few releases the init container that checks for availability of the database no longer works correctly for mariadb. As a consequence the database check constantly fails and nextcloud itself never comes up.
Logs and Errors
The logs of the init container show repeatedly:
ERROR 2026 (HY000): TLS/SSL error: SSL is required, but the server does not support it
The fix is to add the command line flag --skip-ssl to the command line of the init container. However, as I don't know whether this may break other setups I did not simply create a PR containing this flag. A more elaborate solution may be required, e.g. introducing a value that can be set optionally.

Research direction
Search the chart templates for the init container's database availability command and inspect how its arguments are generated. Reproduce the MariaDB check with the reported values, then verify that the check succeeds without the TLS error and that other database setups are not broken.
