RE: Installing MySQL Web Server (DigitalOcean droplet)
Your tutorial is good. Good job showing steps. You teach people MySQL setup well. Your screenshots help people see what to do.
Here is all my feedback:
Good things:
- You show clear steps for MySQL install
- You explain what commands do
- You show screenshots of each part
- You fixed MySQL error by adding more RAM
- You created database and table successfully
- You explain LAMP stack meaning
- You show how to login to MySQL
- You tell people to use strong password
Things to make better:
- Add numbers to steps (like Step 1, Step 2)
- Tell more about why MySQL failed first time
- Show more about MySQL security settings
- Add info about making MySQL users not just root
- Show how PHP connects to MySQL
- Use Docker containers
- Docker makes setup easier
- Docker helps avoid system problems
- Docker lets you move server easy
- With Docker you can run many MySQL servers
- Docker makes start/stop very fast
- Add more commands for backup MySQL data
- Tell how to connect from other computers
Your tutorial helps beginners learn server setup. People will like learning from you.

Thanks for the review,
Yeah, you are right. I will add the number of steps. Next time I will consider that.
why MySQL failed the first time, I can't pinpoint. I did a lot of reinstalling and restarting of the droplet several times. But the final bus stop was the increase of the CPU and Memory.
As for making use of Docker, I will consider it next time.
Thanks again for the review, you giving me hints on the Docker
In the beginning, you might see Docker as a waste of time, but after a while, it will make your life easier.
