+
+Install MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04 server.
+
+This is not a guide and not a toy.  
+This script is built for consistent, repeatable deployments.
+
+## Why this installer exists
+Different distros ship different defaults, often requiring manual cleanup. This installer standardizes configuration.
+
+## What this installer does  
+✔ Enforces `mysql_native_password`  
+✔ No socket login — predictable auth  
+✔ Removes anonymous users + test DB  
+✔ Creates `/root/.my.cnf` for CLI access  
+✔ Safe to re-run without wiping data  
+
+## What this installer does *NOT* do
+It won’t stop you from running the script without reading the documentation like there’s no tomorrow.  
+Skip the README, and whatever happens next is your headache, not a bug report.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+You need:
+
+✔ Ubuntu 24.04 Server (or equivalent)  
+✔ Root access (direct or via `sudo`)  
+✔ No existing MySQL service already running
+
+If MySQL is already running, the script will exit to avoid damaging an existing installation.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Prepare the system
+
+```
+sudo apt update -y
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Download the installer
+
+``` 
+git clone https://git.x-files.dk/database/mysql-ubuntu.git
+```
+
+```
+cd mysql-ubuntu
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Install MySQL
+
+``` 
+sudo ./mysqlinstall -p <rootpassword>
+```
+
+Example:
+
+``` 
+sudo ./mysqlinstall -p StrongRootPass1986
+```
+
+The `-p` flag is **required**. If omitted, the script exits with an error.
+
+---
+
+## Authentication Mode (Default)
+
+This installer configures MySQL to use **password-based authentication only** for the `root` user.
+
+| Mode | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mysql_native_password` | ✔ Enabled | Root must use a password |
+| `auth_socket`           | ✘ Disabled | No implicit root login via socket |
+
+This makes MySQL easier to use with:
+
+- GUI tools (DBeaver, HeidiSQL, etc.)  
+- Remote automation (Ansible, backup scripts)  
+- Other services that expect TCP + password auth
+
+---
+
+## Security Hardening (Automatic)
+
+The script applies hardening equivalent to `mysql_secure_installation`:
+
+| Task | Status |
+|---|---|
+| Remove anonymous users | ✔ |
+| Disallow remote root login | ✔ |
+| Drop `test` database | ✔ |
+| Remove `test_%` databases | ✔ |
+| Flush privileges | ✔ |
+
+---
+
+## Post‑Install Login
+
+Because `/root/.my.cnf` is created, you can log in as root with:
+
+``` 
+mysql
+```
+
+Or explicitly:
+
+``` 
+mysql -u root -p
+```
+
+Credentials file:
+
+``` 
+/root/.my.cnf
+```
+
+File mode is set to `400` (root read‑only).
+
+---
+
+## Switching Authentication Modes
+
+### 1. Switch back to socket authentication (optional)
+
+If you prefer the default Ubuntu‑style **socket auth** for root (no password when local), run:
+
+``` 
+sudo mysql
+ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+```
+
+After this:
+
+``` 
+mysql          # works without password (as root on the server)
+mysql -p       # will fail unless you set a password again
+```
+
+Because this installer created `/root/.my.cnf`, you should **remove it** when switching back to socket auth to avoid confusing clients and tools:
+
+``` 
+rm -f /root/.my.cnf
+```
+
+Otherwise, tools that rely on `/root/.my.cnf` may try password auth while MySQL expects socket auth, leading to login errors.
+
+### 2. Switch from socket auth back to password auth
+
+If you later decide to restore password‑based login again:
+
+``` 
+sudo mysql
+ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'YourNewPasswordHere';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+```
+
+Then recreate `/root/.my.cnf` if desired:
+
+``` 
+cat > /root/.my.cnf <<EOF
+[client]
+user=root
+password=YourNewPasswordHere
+EOF
+
+chmod 400 /root/.my.cnf
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| Script exits: “MySQL is already running” | Existing MySQL install detected | Stop/remove old instance or migrate manually |
+| `Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'` | Wrong root password used | Restart MySQL in safe mode and reset password |
+| Tools fail after switching to socket auth | `/root/.my.cnf` still present | Remove `/root/.my.cnf` or switch back to password auth |
+| Cannot connect from remote host as root | Remote root login disabled | Create a dedicated admin user for remote access |
