Next, install MySQL 8 on Debian 11 by executing the command below apt install mysql-server Run System Updateīefore you can proceed, update and upgrade your system packages. If re-prompted for product selection, do as above and press ENTER to finalize the installation of MySQL APT repository. Press ENTER to proceed to install the repository. What is the right way to do this? Any why is my original version failing in a way that the test-case version is not? In all cases, I'm installing onto a VM that I reset to its initial-installation snapshot before I run Ansible, so there's nothing that's getting left behind from a previous run.Next, on the MySQL product, select Ok and press TAB key to select Ok. (That version can run exactly as written.)

name: Set MySQL root password before installingĭebconf: name='mysql-server' question='mysql-server/root_password' value='' vtype='password' The initial part of this task looks like this (the stuff running beforehand is not obviously relevant-installing SSH keys, fetching a few files, etc.): - name: include variable file for MySQL my.cnf file, and I'm not clear whether or not that's strictly necessary (I don't use this in my normal installations, I enter passwords in other ways) but in any case, it's failing to work in a yet different way. My intended version is a separate mysql.yml task that's included in a larger role. Furthermore, I wrote a test case, and of course works perfectly and I can't understand the effective difference.

I'm trying to use Ansible to install MySQL onto a Debian server, but I'm having trouble, despite having read several guides to this, and looked at some questions here.
