Mysql

Install and configure mysql database server.

This role adds the official mysql repository, but leaves it disabled. It also adds MySQL Python to use Ansible modules.

Select the version to install with mysql_version. You should also change the root password, the default is mysql.

The installation is secure following best practices found in the MySQL manual, ie removing anonymous users and the test database.

Multiple databases can be configured through mysql_databases list. Databases, users and grants will be generated based on this list (see default/main.yml for options).

A local backup cron job is installed under the mysqlbck user. The template backup script is located in templates/backup_all.sh.j2

Requirements

See meta/main.yml.

Role Variables

See default/main.yml.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

Example:

sts: servers
les:
- { role: mysql, mysql_version: 5.6, mysql_root_password: mypassword }

TODO

• Secure installation for 5.7.
• Backup should be optional.
• Creating backup user does not work if account is already in ldap.
• Restrict backup user privileges, i.e SELECT,RELOAD,FILE,SUPER,"LOCK TABLES","SHOW VIEW","SHOW DATABASES".
