Is there a way to install Xtradb Cluster 8.x from the deb packages directly?

[Bronco]

Hi,
Is there a way to install Xtradb Cluster 8.x from the deb packages directly?
dpkg -i /.deb of the extracted tar doesn’t seem to work.

Are there instructions on how to perform this or a precedence list?

The apt method doesn’t seem to scale due to this:
" During the installation, you are requested to provide a password for the root user on the database node."

Or is there a way to populate the password in an environment variable to avoid the prompt for the password if we choose the apt method?

Many Thanks

Hi @Bronco

You may download all required debs by the next command.

sudo apt-get -d install percona-xtradb-cluster-full

After it can be installed by using deb packages directly.

Next commands can be used for installing the package with empty root password.

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
sudo apt-get install -q -y /var/cache/apt/archives/percona-xtradb-cluster-server_1%3a8.0.28-19-1.focal_amd64.deb
