Issue Summary
Using the Ghost marketplace image on digital ocean with a $6 droplet I using ubuntu 22.04 I made it all the way through the installation and ended up with an error message from MYSQL that ‘root’@‘localhost’ password was incorrect. I tried using the password in the .digitalocean file and it failed. I tried without a password and it failed. I researched how to take control of mysql and apparently this has changed with MYSQL8 and I could not find a way to get control of the root account on mysql.
Steps to Reproduce
- install the current droplet using a $6 image
- wait the 1/2 hour for the installation to finish
- add a valid dns host and email address
- get an error installing ghost that the root address in mysql has a bad password
