Ubuntu official documentation apt install mysql-server starts MySQL service automatically
💡 Result:
Yes, when you install the mysql-server package using apt on Ubuntu, the MySQL service is configured to start automatically upon completion of the installation [1][2][3]. The package's post-installation scripts (postinst) handle the initialization of the database and the configuration of the systemd service [4][5]. Because the mysql service is enabled by default in its systemd unit file, it will also automatically start at system boot time [1][2][4]. You can verify the status of the service immediately after installation using the following command: sudo systemctl status mysql If for any reason the service does not start automatically or you need to manage it manually, you can use standard systemd commands such as sudo systemctl start mysql, sudo systemctl stop mysql, or sudo systemctl restart mysql [1][6][4].

Do not start a second MySQL server instance.
apt-get install mysql-server can leave MySQL running. If it is running, do not remove its socket and PID files or start another mysqld. Reuse the running server or stop it before running these commands. The second process can fail to bind and prevent the test setup from starting.

Bound the MySQL readiness loop.
If mysqld exits, this until loop retries forever. The loop hides the startup error and blocks the test setup. Use a finite retry count or timeout, then exit with the server error.

Make the database-existence check fail closed.
The negated pipeline treats a failed mysql query as “test1 is absent.” Without pipefail, a missing rg or a failed query can enter Lines 34-36 and rerun database creation. The block can then ignore SQL errors and continue to the tests. Capture the query result separately, use an available matcher, and stop on initialization errors.

Ubuntu mysql-server apt install root auth_socket authentication localhost official documentation
💡 Result:
On Ubuntu, the mysql-server package defaults the 'root'@'localhost' user to use the auth_socket authentication plugin [1][2]. This plugin authenticates users based on their operating system (OS) user identity when connecting locally through a Unix socket file [3][4]. How auth_socket works The auth_socket plugin verifies that the OS user name matches the MySQL user name [3][2]. If they match, the connection is permitted without requiring a password [1][4]. Because it relies on the socket peer credentials provided by the operating system, this plugin is highly secure for local administration but restricts connections to the local host; remote connections are not possible with this authentication method [3][2][5]. Verifying the current authentication method To see which plugin is currently assigned to the root user, log in with sudo and run the following command in the MySQL prompt [6][7]: SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'root'; Changing the authentication method If you need to use a password for the root user (e.g., for compatibility with applications that do not support socket-based authentication), you can change the plugin to a password-based one, such as caching_sha2_password (the default for MySQL 8.0+) or mysql_native_password (deprecated but widely supported) [2][8][7]. To change the method, use the ALTER USER command [2][9]: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'your_new_password'; After running this, execute the following to apply the changes [6][7]: FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Once changed, you will need to provide the password when connecting to MySQL [7]. Note that if you use mysql_native_password, ensure your server is configured to support it, as it is disabled by default in newer MySQL versions [8].

Use the local database configuration for the APT-installed server.
ci/docker.json requires empty-password TCP authentication for root. Ubuntu's APT setup can configure root@localhost for socket authentication, so initialization can succeed while the tests fail to connect over TCP. Copy ci/database.json instead, or configure password authentication for the TCP connection.
