MySQL 8 support

[Alexander S.]

Is there any way to install MySQL 8 currently using this cookbook?

[Alexander S.]

I tried adding this to my recipe:

remote_file "#{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb" do
  source "https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb"
  mode 0644
end

dpkg_package "mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb" do
  source "#{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb"
  action :install
  notifies :run, 'execute[apt-get update]', :immediately
end

And got the following issues:

1. An issue with the apparmor config update. Resolved by manually running apt-get install mysql-community-server, which runs a UI using ncurses (probably could be resolved somehow, but not sure how yet).

    Configuration file '/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld'
     ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
     ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
       What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
        Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
        N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
          D     : show the differences between the versions
          Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
     The default action is to keep your current version.
    *** usr.sbin.mysqld (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package mysql-community-server (--configure):

    Ran ["apt-get", "-q", "-y", "install", "mysql-community-server=8.0.18-1ubuntu16.04"] returned 100

2. An issue with the initial DB setup (doesn't find the system users table and tries to remove the whole data directory (!)). Luckily thid didn't work.

Is there any timeline on when mysql 8.0 support will be added?

[Lance Albertson]

I've been working on doing the similar thing in the percona cookbook. I'll likely take a look at cleaning up tests/etc in this cookbook next. Maybe a week or two?

[tw-mcummings]

Awesome! Thanks for the update.

[Jonathan Beckman]

@ramereth do you have any new updates?

[Lance Albertson]

@unibeck I have @EMH333 working on this and should have a PR for this soon I think

MySQL 8 support has been released with the version 9 of this cookbook
