<p dir="auto">I am new to cloudron and I tried installing it on my recently updated ubuntu20.04 desktop. I followed the installation process but couldn't finish because I got this error message:</p>
<pre><code>....
2023-10-15T13:52:42 ==&gt; start: Adding motd message for admins
2023-10-15T13:52:42 ==&gt; start: Configuring nginx
grep: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nginx.service: No such file or directory
2023-10-15T13:52:43 ==&gt; start: Stopping mysql
2023-10-15T13:52:44 ==&gt; start: Starting mysql
mysqladmin: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So I have found a solution and reset the mysql root@localhost password, and then did:</p>
<pre><code>sudo ./cloudron-setup --redo
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But I get</p>
<pre><code>Error: Cloudron is already installed. To reinstall, start afresh
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So here I really don't understand this message because if I do:</p>
<pre><code>systemctl status box
● box.service - Cloudron Admin
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/box.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2023-10-15 14:34:28 UTC; 11ms ago
   Main PID: 38669 (node)
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 135115)
     Memory: 620.0K (max: 400.0M)
     CGroup: /system.slice/box.service
             └─38669 node /home/yellowtent/box/box.js
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So the service seems to run. As far as my understanding goes the majority of the install is complete. But I can't imagine that I have to completely reinstall my desktop setup because cloudron blocked for an sql password. So what could be a solution ?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you very much for your response. Best regards, Joachim</p>

<p dir="auto">As others warned, don't do this! It's not meant to be run this way. You can create a VM on your desktop and install it in the VM though.</p>
<p dir="auto">The error itself is happening because you probably are using MySQL already and this is conflicting with Cloudron installation.</p>

<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Cloudron should be installed on servers, not desktops</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">it needs to be on the server all by itself with nothing else installed</p>
</li>
</ol>
