Error when trying to use MySQL as the DB for a self-hosted instance running the convex binary
When trying to run locally (using the binary: precompiled-2025-04-11-56756cc) with mysql (mysql Ver 8.0.41-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))) on Ubuntu I get an error. Here's the command:
./convex-local-backend --instance-name convex-self-hosted --instance-secret <redacted> --db mysql-v5 "mysql://convex:<redacted>@localhost:33060"
Here's the error:
