I'am newbie in server, so sorrry if u dont know what i said, but my trouble is can't update mysql from 5.7 to 8 series.

Vesta not support mysql 8 yet.

We do support to 5.7 not to much time a go, so for mysql 8 you need wait a lite more.

But yes maybe you can upgrade but vesta internally maybe fail in some functions lie "store and restore passwords"

@Skamasle , thanks for information.., so i think vestaCP is better with MySQL 8.0.

@Skamasle how about now? Can I upgrade to Mysql 8 at Ubuntu 18.04 and VestaCP ?

[Skamasle]

Hi @nepohex I not review vesta code, not know if some body add support for mysql 8 in vestacp

[Skamasle]

HI

I test mysql 8 in debian 9, and add some code to vestacp in #1805 and #1806 this need be tested but works, but in my end, I cant upgrade mysql from ubuntu 18, I have some problems and broken all not know why, but I install vesta in debian 9 with mysql 8 support without problems, you can read it here

But I NOT recommend swich to mysql 8 in vesta because not is tested, of course if you want test not in production or in production with your OWN RISK you can, but I recommend you wait to official patch and support

But in my test works fine, can create, databases and all works, but I need test much more, like backups creation, restoration and other functions

Thx for information!, vesta is best with mysql 8 soon!

Vesta installs all packages from official repositories of OS, maybe support for 8.0 will be later
