While we’re on this subject - why does my Virtualmin (version 7.1-1) still have this package url? http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt is it safe for me to change it?
But that’s not the point. The point is they’re going to make MyriaDB the default database server in Virtualmin 7. That’s why people like me are waiting for the new Virtualmin 7 installer.
Those of us that already have Ubuntu servers and have for some time that are running MySQL as that has been the default for years are simply waiting for the new installer so that we can do a fresh install of 22.04 with the new Virtualmin installer and then migrate over without having to do it all piece meal.
It’s not rocket science to understand that we don’t want to go your route and Swiss Army Knife the hell out of our servers.
You’ve already made it abundantly clear on other threads that you don’t understand that the Virtualmin 7.1 that’s out now is NOT an installer. It is NOT what you think it is.
I’m running MariaDB fine on my one, so I don’t know what you’re complaint is even about? I thought MySQL is installed with the OS which is why I have to remove it to install MariaDB?
That’s right I didn’t know that. That illustrates in part why I’m here because I want to keep up with dev, and provide positive feedback/helpful criticism. Perhaps they could make some UI improvements to reflect the real version? Because honestly I would have just assumed I needed to change the package urls…
SO, what we’re all doing (those of us with 20.04 and MySQL) is waiting for the 7 installer. That way we can do a fresh install of 22.04, run the 7 installer, have MariaDB and simply migrate our databases over and be done with it.
You want to wing all of your stuff, fine. Knock yourself out. We’re waiting for the easy and new fix that will be bullet proof.
One of the first things these people will tell you is to NOT start changing all of your repos because you WILL break things in Virtualmin.
That’s talking about migrating from MySQL to MariaDB on existing installs of course that will be difficult. There is no problem with installing MariaDB on a fresh install. That isn’t “winging” anything - VM6 fully supported MariaDB the only thing you had to do was install it manually when you set up the VPS.
So recently installed Ubuntu LTS 22.04 on a server… seems like virtualmin isn’t supported on it. Just wonder if maybe I should just install Ubuntu LTS 20 instead? Just rather get on with things but reading this thread it seemed like a beta might be available soon but how soon? next week end of next month?
If I go with Ubuntu LTS 20 will I be able to upgrade Ubuntu to LTS 22 easily? (yeah I’ve not used it before so not sure how feasible that is usually with Ubuntu)
The good news is that you CAN install Virtualmin 7-RC8 fine on Ubuntu 22.04. The bad news is that there isn’t much point because there are literally no Virtualmin repos for it yet and it literally doesn’t set up any.
Wipe the system and install ubuntu 20.04 and use that for now (with the stable version 6.x installer).
You can upgrade Ubuntu in-place later it should be fine. Again there’s no problem with MariaDB… if that’s what you want just install it, I’ll test this in about an hour or so when I rebuild this particular VPS.
The main benefit to 22.04 is it comes with OpenSSL 3.0, nothing to do with whether you can run MariaDB or not!!
It’s literally impossible for it to have Webmin/Virtualmin, etc. if it didn’t configure the repos. There is no way for software to get installed if it doesn’t setup the repositories. We install everything via the system package manager.
There may be a problem (in the listed package repositories, maybe, I don’t know, I’ll have to check). But, it’s not that the install script does not configure our software repositories (and there’s only one Virtualmin repo now for Ubuntu and Debian).
