Installing and Configuring MySQL on Ubuntu 22.04

Set up MySQL database server on Ubuntu 22.04 with optimal configuration for production use.

Installation

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server -y
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Initial Configuration

Configure MySQL by editing /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf:

max_connections = 200
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1G
innodb_log_file_size = 256M

Create Database and User

sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE myapp;
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON myapp.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Performance Tuning

Adjust innodb_buffer_pool_size to 70-80% of available RAM for optimal performance. Enable query cache for read-heavy workloads.

Backup Strategy

Use mysqldump for logical backups or Percona XtraBackup for hot backups without downtime.

Security Recommendations

• Change default port from 3306 to a custom port
• Enable SSL/TLS connections
• Configure firewall to allow only specific IPs
• Regular security updates
