# Database MySQL
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
|
|
We do not recommend using MySQL due to various issues. For example, case [(in)sensitivity](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/case-sensitivity.html) and [problems](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65830) that [suggested](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50909) [fixes](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65830) [have](https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63164).

## MySQL
|
|
|
|
# Install the database packages
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
|
|
|
|
# Ensure you have MySQL version 5.5.14 or later
|
|
mysql --version
|
|
|
|
# Pick a MySQL root password (can be anything), type it and press enter
|
|
# Retype the MySQL root password and press enter
|
|
|
|
# Secure your installation
|
|
sudo mysql_secure_installation
|
|
|
|
# Login to MySQL
|
|
mysql -u root -p
|
|
|
|
# Type the MySQL root password
|
|
|
|
# Create a user for GitLab
|
|
# do not type the 'mysql>', this is part of the prompt
|
|
# change $password in the command below to a real password you pick
|
|
mysql> CREATE USER 'git'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$password';
|
|
|
|
# Ensure you can use the InnoDB engine which is necessary to support long indexes
|
|
# If this fails, check your MySQL config files (e.g. `/etc/mysql/*.cnf`, `/etc/mysql/conf.d/*`) for the setting "innodb = off"
|
|
mysql> SET storage_engine=INNODB;
|
|
|
|
# Create the GitLab production database
|
|
mysql> CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `gitlabhq_production` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8` COLLATE `utf8_unicode_ci`;
|
|
|
|
# Grant the GitLab user necessary permissions on the database
|
|
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, LOCK TABLES ON `gitlabhq_production`.* TO 'git'@'localhost';
|
|
|
|
# Quit the database session
|
|
mysql> \q
|
|
|
|
# Try connecting to the new database with the new user
|
|
sudo -u git -H mysql -u git -p -D gitlabhq_production
|
|
|
|
# Type the password you replaced $password with earlier
|
|
|
|
# You should now see a 'mysql>' prompt
|
|
|
|
# Quit the database session
|
|
mysql> \q
|
|
|
|
# You are done installing the database and can go back to the rest of the installation.
