How can I do this?
From what I’ve been able to understand, I can’t setup MySQL without a root account. Is this true?
Here’s my cloud-init configuration:
#cloud-config
users:
- name: dev
ssh-authorized-keys:
- ssh-rsa AB3NzaC1yc...
sudo: ['ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL']
groups: sudo
shell: /bin/bash
packages:
- mysql-client
- libmysqlclient-dev
- mysql-server
package-update: true
package_upgrade: true
runcmd:
#
# SSH
#
- sed -i -e '/^Port/s/^.*$/Port 22/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- sed -i -e '/^PermitRootLogin/s/^.*$/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- sed -i -e '/^PasswordAuthentication/s/^.*$/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- sed -i -e '$aAllowUsers dev' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- sudo service ssh restart
#
# Firewall
#
# defaults
- sudo ufw default deny incoming
- sudo ufw default allow outgoing
# exceptions
- sudo ufw allow ssh
- sudo ufw allow http
- sudo ufw allow https
# start on boot
- sed -i -e '/^ENABLED/s/^.*$/ENABLED=yes/' /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
- sudo ufw enable
Nothing very fancy,
With this config, root login is disabled and I get remote access with my dev
user account. So far, so good.
However, MySQL installations fails with:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.7_5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If I don’t specify any user, and perform a typical setup through apt-get the installation runs fine.
Is it not possible to setup MySQL with cloud-init while having my root account disabled? And if not, can I somehow tell cloud-init to setup my users after my packages have been installed/updated?
Thank you!
