I've already asked the upstream author about this question and he told me that there is no specific reason to run ProxySQL as mysql user... Any user will work: "There is no specific reason to run ProxySQL as mysql user. Any user can work, as long as it is privileges to access full access /var/lib/proxysql . Nonetheless, you do not need MySQL server installed: a simple useradd will work." https://github.com/sysown/proxysql/commit/6b3291b53e237460eef62a6ee6033d2e8a4dea46 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
