Migrating to mariadb

I have a site developped in modx revolution, hosted in a shared server (Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.6, PHP 5.4)
It works ok and now with version 2.6. when working with 2.5.7 I wasn't able to save templates, chunks or snippets on the live site.
So I had it replicated on my local machine (PHP7.0, MySQL 5.6) where I was able to edit chunks, snippets and templates and save them. then, with phpmyadmin, copythe tables modx_site_htmlsnippets, m...te_snippets and m...te_templates from the db in localhost to the one in thne live site.
after upgrading to 2.6 it started working again.Nevertheless, I'm planning to upgrade the host to a cloud server.
my ISP offers me a LAMP stack with PHP 7 and MariaDB 10.2.
I understand this is good for MODx.
Should I take any special precaution to migrate the DB or is it for MODx as if nothing had changed?
,Could I still share the tables from the db in m y machine, which uses MySQL5.6 to the DB in the liveserver, using mariaDB?
