A "hellscape of configuration"?
`apt-get install mysql-server` makes you enter a "root" password out of the box.
`apt-get install postgresql` create a local user `postgres` with access the local database.
Both bind to only localhost by default.
Those sound like easy, reasonable defaults to me.
(And this isn't exclusive to Debian-likes: RHEL almost certainly shares the exact same benefits)
- StavrosK 10y agoI don't know, to me, these sound like things you have to do for those dinosaur databases, along with their antiquated notions of "authentication" and "actually persisting data you confirmed". Who has time for that?
- lacampbell 10y ago`apt-get install postgresql` create a local user `postgres` with access the local database. Does it!? I'm sure I've had to do that myself.
- fulafel 10y agoYes.
