When installing percona-server-server on Ubuntu, I am prompted for a password. Also, I am asked which security to use (new or backwards compatible for 5.7).

I need to automate this install, thus I need to be able to run the install without the need to interact with the process. Is this possible?

Thanks

I did a quick test and this looks to work. I’m going to dive into this more deeply and will update if I have any other issues. Thanks!
