Установка MySQL 8.0 в Ubuntu: мой опыт
When I decided to install MySQL 8.0 for my project, Vultr's flexibility and infrastructure made it an obvious choice. Here's my step-by-step journey with challenges and solutions.
The challenges I faced
-
Dependency issues: Outdated packages caused installation errors early on.
-
Setting up APT repository: I accidentally selected the wrong MySQL version during setup.
-
Limited Resources: Running MySQL on a minimal server configuration required optimization and increased resources.
-
Permissions Errors: I encountered problems running the command
mysql_secure_installation.
Step by step guide
1. Updating and preparing the server
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
2. Adding MySQL Repository
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.24-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.24-1_all.deb
During installation, select MySQL 8.0.
3. Installing MySQL Server
sudo apt update sudo apt install mysql-server -y
4. Starting and enabling the service
sudo systemctl start mysql sudo systemctl enable mysql
5. Installation protection
sudo mysql_secure_installation
6. Checking the installation
