This post will show how to install MySQL 8.0 on a Debian 9 using the official MSQL APT repositories.

If you start new, and you can, stick to the new method. If you are using a MySQL driver which has no support yet for strong password encryption (for example the go-sql-driver/mysql package driver), or you “need” to switch to MySQL 8.0 and keep previous user accounts intact, you will want to set the default back to the mysql_native_plugin for authentication. The missing part is the extra question during the installation of the server whether you want to keep using the new default authentention method, or use the (now) legacy native method. One of the stacks we are enrolling is MySQL Group Replication, which requires at least 3 servers.Īlthough the MySQL Documentation show how to install MySQL non-interactively, it is not entirely complete. To make things easier and automated, we can use the non-interactive feature of the Debian packaging system to deploy services. At work we are doing quite a bit with Debian.
