Large homeassistant database files

Hi All,
Seemed to get this installed without too many issues on a HASSBIAN image. Only been running for approx 10 mins so far though.
Details below:

Complete the following outside the venv:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
** create root password when prompted **

mysql -u root -p  
** enter root password **

CREATE DATABASE hass_db;
CREATE USER 'hassuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'XXX';   <-------XXX is your password
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'hassuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Enter the venv:
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade mysqlclient


Add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
recorder:
  db_url: mysql://hassuser:[email protected]/hass_db
