Ubuntu 22.04 with mysql-server 8.0.32-0ubuntu0.22.04.2

mysql wouldn’t start with error

sudo systemctl status mysql.service
# output 
Error: 99 (Cannot assign requested address)

Cause

I was using Docker on this host and had added the the Docker network host IP Address to mysqld.cnf to allow connection from Docker containers and after removing Docker 172.17.0.1 was no longer a valid address

My /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf had the following in it

bind-address                   = 127.0.0.1,172.17.0.1
mysqlx-bind-address     = 127.0.0.1,172.17.0.1

Fix

bind-address                   = 127.0.0.1
mysqlx-bind-address     = 127.0.0.1

Restart mysqld

sudo systemctl start mysql.service
