Re: Non-Interactive, Unattended Install of MySQL 8 on Debian/ Ubuntu

[Monosij Dutta-Roy]

Hi Lars -

Thanks for your help. The -E helped with the install of mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb.

However it got stuck at setting up of root password which has been working for setting up MySQL from the local Ubuntu repo. Regardless I added a -E to that as well but did not help. I did not need the -E when setting up from local Ubuntu.


export DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive";
sudo -E debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-community-server mysql-server/root_password password mysql';
sudo -E debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-community-server mysql-server/root_password_again password mysql';

...
Also after setting up repo for MySQL 8, the command:
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server; - installs mysql-community-server as shown below.

Thus, I changed my debconf above to mysql-community-server and tried with installing mysql-community-server, but still got stuck at root password.

...
How would I install mysql-server 8 on Ubuntu please.

Also am a little confused as installing mysql-community-server on CentOS/ Fedora installs mariadb-server.

Is mariadb-server exactly same as mysql-community-server?

Thank you for your clarifications again.
