title: Vagarant/homestead does not create database unless
body: <p>I upgraded laravel/homestead box to version 11.1.0. Then a surprising happened: My DBs disappeared. How? I have no idea.
  But then when I tried to reinstall the databases using Homestead.yaml, it did not work eventhough I added the list of databases in Homestead.yaml.</p>
  <p>Here the what I did in Homestead.yaml:</p>
  <pre><code>    databases:
          - db00
          - db01
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then I ran &quot;vagrant provision&quot; but nothing changed in MySQL. &quot;show databases;&quot; displayed default tables only.</p>
  <p>Then I activated the features:</p>
  <pre><code>     features:
          - mysql: true
          - mariadb: false
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then I ran &quot;vagrant provision&quot; and it worked. I had both databases (db00 and db01) in MySQL.
  Here are the problems:</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>Based on <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/homestead#installing-optional-features" rel="nofollow noreferrer">laravel/homestead documentation for laravel v8.x</a>, there is no feature option for mysql. That caused the following error during provisioning:</p>
  <pre><code>homestead: Invalid feature: mysql
  homestead: Ignoring feature: mariadb because it is set to false
  </code></pre>
  </li>
  <li><p>Once I added the option &quot;- mysql&quot; to the Homestead.yaml, I received the following errors for MariaDB</p>
  <pre><code>homestead: Running: script: Creating MySQL / MariaDB Database: db00
  homestead: We didn't find a PID for mariadb, skipping $DB creation
  homestead: Running: script: Creating MySQL / MariaDB Database: db01
  homestead: We didn't find a PID for mariadb, skipping $DB creation
  </code></pre>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>Now here my question: What is going on? Without the feature option &quot;- mysql&quot; no database is created; no matter if I define the list under the databases. Once I add it, things work, databases are generated however, I get error that the feature is not valid. Also it is not included in the documentation.
  Where am I going wrong? or if anyone has an explanation or a better solution?</p>
