    **We strongly recommend backing up or snapshot all your order data before working on the server

    If you need to upgrade to MySQL version 8.0, do the following steps:
    Remove MySQL server from ISPmanager section Abilities. With this action we remove ispmanager-pkg-mysql package and also remove MySQL server in Database Servers section

    file

    The beginning of the installation

    Connect to the server via SSH and enter the command that updates the lists of packages from the repositories to get information about the latest versions of packages and their dependencies.

    sudo apt update  
    

    Enter a command that retrieves new versions of packages that exist on the server:

    sudo apt upgrade  
    

    Download the file using wget:

    Next, unpack and install it:

    sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config  
    

    Next, a window will appear in which you should check that it is MySQL Server & Cluster (Currently selected: mysql-8.0)

    file

    file

    Next, enter the following commands:

    sudo apt update  
    
    sudo apt upgrade  
    

    Install MySQL server:

    sudo apt install mysql-server  
    

    A window will open in which you need to enter a new root password for MySQL (Ubuntu and MySQL passwords may be different)

    file

    Next, let's click Ok

    In the window, where it says about new MySQL 8 Authentication - click Use Strong Password Encryption (Recommended)

    file

    Next, we enter the command:

    mysql_secure_installation  
    

    Enter the MySQL password.

    Further security questions can be answered as follows

    Securing the MySQL server deployment.  
    
    Connecting to MySQL using a blank password.  
    
    VALIDATE PASSWORD COMPONENT can be used to test passwords  
    and improve security. It checks the strength of password  
    and allows the users to set only those passwords which are  
    secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD component?  
    
    Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: N  
    Please set the password for root here.  
    
    New password  
    
    Re-enter new password  
    By default, a MySQL installation has anonymous user,  
    allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have  
    a user account created for them. This is intended only for  
    testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.  
    You should remove them before moving into a production  
    environment.  
    
    Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y  
    Success.  
    
    
    Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from  
    'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at
    the root password from the network.  
    
    Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y  
    Success.  
    
    By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that  
    anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing,  
    and should be removed before moving into a production  
    environment.  
    
    
    Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y  
     - Dropping test database...
    Success.  
    
     - Removing privileges on test database...
    Success.  
    
    Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes  
    made so far will take effect immediately.  
    
    Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y  
    Success.  
    
    All done!

    sudo -i  
    service mysql stop  
    killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld  
    apt-get --yes purge mysql-server mysql-client  
    apt-get --yes autoremove --purge  
    apt-get autoclean  
    deluser --remove-home mysql  
    delgroup mysql
