I already installed MySQL of client and server with 5.7 version.

When I check MySQL packages available :

$ sudo apt search mysql

  MySQL Client meta package depending on latest version

I try to upgrade MySQL from 5.7 to 8.0 version, with following steps:

1. Download the Repository

$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb

2. installing the package and configuring

$ sudo gdebi mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb

Auto configuration for MySQL APT Repo.
 MySQL is a fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database
 server. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular database query
 language in the world. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and
 ease of use.

How can I fix that the warnings and update/upgrade all my databases? Asking because I forgot to backup my databases with mysqldump query!

  • I don't see any errors in that output - just one warning. And I don't see anything in that output that prevents your from backing up your databases.

    They are if you back them up first. If not, then no promises.

This is a cosmetic warning essentially complaining that a script is using the apt-key command and that in the future the command might change so scripts shouldn't be using it since it's designed for humans to use.

  • Follow the steps in the MySQL Quick Guide - All you have done is installed a package that adds the MySQL repositories, not actually installed or upgraded the mysql-server package(s) itself. Dec 26, 2018 at 14:43
  • ...which means you still have the opportunity to backup your databases before doing the upgrade.
