Hi

Please checkout https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/issues/821.

this solution not work, i set --mysql yes but when finish, mysql -v show maria db 10.1

This wasnt written as solution, the fact is that hestia currently sticks to mariadb only. The switch mysql will install mariadb (or not, if you set it to no).

5

if you really mysql instead of mariadb, best way probably would be to edit the install script so that it doesn’t mariadb repos but install whatever mysql version comes from the original OS repos…

Just an FYI. You absolutely CAN install HestiaCP with MySQL 5.7. I have done this exact thing, on a few separate occasions and it works just fine. You need to make sure that you have added the correct MySQL repos to your Debian install, BEFORE you run the HestiaCP installation script, with all references to “mariadb”, replaced with “mysql”.

Could you share the modifications you did and which repo you’ve added?

Of course. Sorry, I believe I used a misnomer; not a repo, rather the mysql-apt-config script (used to setup apt to point to the version you want your system to refer to when you, “apt-get install mysql”).

I used the following steps to achieve HestiaCP on MySQL 5.7.

  1. Login as root (which you need to do to install HestiaCP anyway).
  2. apt-get update
  3. apt-get upgrade
  4. wget http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb (as of 02/2021, check mysql’s site for latest version).
  5. dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb (During the installation of MySQL apt config package, It will prompt to select MySQL version to install. Select the MySQL 5.7 option to configure your system to use this version of mysql when installing and updating.)
  6. apt-get update (again)

Now you are ready to run the modified version of the HestiaCP installation script, with all references to mariadb, replaced with mysql. I have the modified version of this installation script that I have used successfully and would be happy to upload it, if that is allowed. I just don’t see that option herein.

Then further down in the script, I remarked the section where it tried to install and configure the Mariadb repo (as this would supercede the changes we made earlier, configuring mysql to use 5.7, before running the installation script).

Installing MariaDB repo

#if [ "$mysql" = 'yes' ]; then

#    echo "[ * ] MariaDB"

#    echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://mirror.mva-n.net/mariadb/repo/$mariadb_v/$VERSION $codename main" > $apt/mariadb.list

#    apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc' > /dev/null 2>&1

#fi

I believe from that point forward, the rest of the script just worked, as MariaDB is “supposedly” a direct drop-in replacement for MySQL, so all the commands are identical. I do believe I searched the rest of the script, looking for any further reference to “mariadb”, just to make sure there was no further attempts to install or configure it.

Sorry if this is confusing. If you’d prefer to just review the version of the installation script I used, I’m happy to send it to you. Just LMK.

any update about MariaDB select in installation?

While I agree that it would be fantastic to have MySQL (v5.7 & v8.0) and MariaDB (10.x) as available options in the installation script, I do not believe the Hestia developers committed to adding this. Did they? I sure would love it, as I have a regular need to deploy Debian web machines, with MySQL 5.7 and LAMP – with which HestiaCP is awesome!

Here’s to hoping!
