MySQL Server setup

• Step 1: Update and install

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install mysql-server -y

• Step 2: Enable and start MySQL Service

  sudo systemctl enable mysql && sudo systemctl start mysql

• Step 3: Secure MySQL Installation

  • Follow the prompts to configure security settings, such as setting a root password, removing anonymous users, and disallowing remote root login.

    sudo mysql_secure_installation

  • Sometime mysql_secure_installation skips setup of root user password. Then use below

    sudo mysql

    ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'mysql_root_password';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    QUIT;

• Step 4: Log in to MySQL

  mysql -u root -p

• Step 5: Create a Remote Login admin user (SQL Instructions)

  CREATE USER 'admin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin_password';
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  QUIT;

  Replace admin with the desired username and admin_password with the desired password.

• Step 6: Configure MySQL to Allow Remote Connections

  sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

  Find the line that begins with bind-address and change the value from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0.

• Step 7: Restart MySQL Service

  sudo systemctl restart mysql

• Step 8:: Setup database

  mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE intentdb;"
  mysql -u root -p intentdb < configs/intentdb.sql

  The default password is set as 1234.
