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](http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65830) that [suggested](http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50909) [fixes](http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65830) [have](http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63164).

# Install the database packages
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev

# Retype the database root password and press enter
|
|
|

# Secure your installation.
|
|
sudo mysql_secure_installation
|
|

|
# Login to MySQL
|
|
mysql -u root -p
|
|
|
|
# Type the database 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';
|
|
|
|
# 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 table.
|
|
mysql> GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER ON `gitlabhq_production`.* TO 'git'@'localhost';

sudo -u git -H mysql -u git -p -D gitlabhq_production
