Remote MySQL Backend
ehw-sky opened this issue · 1 comments
This module doesn't seem to support MySQL backends located on other servers.
powerdns::backends::mysql::create_table has a dependency on Service['mysqld']
Is that the case, or am I misinterpreting this?
You're right.
It uses puppetlabs/mysql to do some of its heavy lifting. As such, a rewrite to support external databases could be harder than it sounds.
It would probably be faster to provision the external database by hand and have this module set the required configs for you instead. It should be enough to copy/paste the powerdns::config blocks from https://github.com/sensson/puppet-powerdns/blob/master/manifests/backends/mysql.pp and include the pdns-backend-mysql package.
If you can and have the time you are definitely encouraged to open a pull request.
I'll leave this open for the moment.
