Hi, I'm trying to install the latest version of iRedMail on Ubuntu 18.04 hosted on an AWS ECS instance.  The iRedMail.sh script runs great up until the configuration section, where it then hangs on this line:

[ INFO ] Configure MariaDB database server.

And then never completes.  I eventually CNTRL-C out of the running script.

I assume there is some issue with MariaDB, but I can manually connect to it without any issues with this command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

When I do a "show databases" I get the following:

MariaDB [(none)]> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Does this issue have something to do with me not being able to set a root password for MariaDb/MySql in AWS?
