Virtualmin SQL problem
Solved
Performance
-
Here is the result of another mySQL query to see the size of all my databases
but it gave the following result :mysql> SELECT table_schema AS "Database", -> ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 2) AS "Size (MB)" -> FROM information_schema.TABLES -> GROUP BY table_schema; +--------------------+-----------+ | Database | Size (MB) | +--------------------+-----------+ | information_schema | 0.00 | | mysql | 2.59 | | performance_schema | 0.00 | | sys | 0.02 | +--------------------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.41 sec)–> None of these results come close to the size of the mysql.ibd file.
BTW following is the result of other query i found for check the unused space of tablespace :

@DownPW thanks for this. Let me review and I’ll get back to you.

@DownPW on checking, it seems that
*.idbfiles by default never shrink - only grow. However, it should be possible to reclaim the disk space viaoptimize table <db.tablename>. I also found this -
@phenomlab said in Virtualmin SQL problem:
optimize table <db.tablename>.
Ok for test this
optimize table <db.tablename>but I hope it’s not dangerous… And what <db.tablename> put in this case ?
Exemple
optimize table XXXX.XXX -
@DownPW it’s perfectly safe. However, the hard part is identifying the actual table causing the bloat.
-
@DownPW this is an interesting read
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=96466
It seems that this is potentially a bug in some circumstances, but it’s the first thing I’ve come across it Out of curiosity, what do you use MySQL for, if at all ?
One other option would be to use
phpMyAdminwhich has a decent GUI interface to perform the analysis and hopefully resolve the issue. Not only will it allow you to locate the offending table, but run maintenance against it to hopefully shrink it. -
@phenomlab said in Virtualmin SQL problem:
what do you use MySQL for, if at all ?
That’s the problem, I don’t use mySQL for anything at all.
The only database management systems I use are mongoDB for NodeBB and postgreSQL for wiki.js.
I think MySQL was installed when you have installing Virtualmin/Webmin on the server.
Anyway I thought it was. Anyway I thought it was. If not, I can simply uninstall mySQL and delete files
-
@DownPW you’ll need to go though the virtualmin way of removing the module itself, which is essentially the same as an
apt remove mysql-serverbut with added dependency removal.Up to you at this point. I can have a look at resolving (hopefully) this tomorrow, or you can proceed with the removal?
Let me know.
-
I have delete the webmin modules like this :
But it wasn’t enough because the mySQL service was still present.
So I have uninstall completely mysql like this:- First make sure that MySQL service is stopped :
sudo systemctl stop mysql- Remove MySQL related all packages completely :
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-* mysql-client-core-*- Remove MySQL configuration and data :
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql- (Optional) Remove unnecessary packages.
sudo apt autoremove- (Optional) Remove apt cache.
sudo apt autocleanNo issues noted so far
Finally problem solved simply but I still don’t understand why this service was installed.
I thought Webmin or Virtualmin was using it when it’s not at all after confirming this by @phenomlab
Thanks dude. Always

Glad to hear (and see) that this issue is now resolved. Virtualmin and Webmin are both derived from the origin of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) - the earliest form would have been a project which was a fork of the original concept called “WAMP” (Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
https://www.wampserver.com/en/
Scroll to the bottom, and you’ll see the packages it comes with
Over time, activity on this project dropped somewhat due to the rise of Virtualmin and Webmin - acting as “full blown” platforms designed to manage an entire web server from start to finish, and providing an easy way to do so with a GUI interface. Over time, the LAMP bundle became LEMP (Linux, NGINX [actually pronounced “engine X”], MySQL, and PHP). The issue with Apache is that it had limits, and compared to NGINX, was in fact much slower.
Virtualmin and Webmin do not actually use MySQL for their core operation - they don’t even use Apache or NGINX for the core web services, which is why the admin port is set to a default of 10000 when you first complete the setup.
Essentially, you can think of Virtualmin and Webmin as a central pane of glass to manage the underlying components that are required to run a website. MySQL doesn’t need to be installed if you are not actually using it, but is there as PHP typically is paired with either MySQL or MariaDB, so it makes sense to offer the installation of this itself, as well as support for managing it.
