Installs MySQL server on RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu servers.
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see vars/main.yml):
mysql_user_home: /root
The home directory inside which Python MySQL settings will be stored, which Ansible will use when connecting to MySQL. This should be the home directory of the user which runs this Ansible role.
mysql_root_password: root
The MySQL root user account password.
mysql_packages:
- mysql
- mysql-server
- MySQL-python
(OS-specific, RedHat/CentOS defaults listed here) Packages to be installed. In some situations, you may need to add additional packages, like mysql-devel.
mysql_enablerepo: ""
(RedHat/CentOS only) If you have enabled any additional repositories (might I suggest geerlingguy.repo-epel or geerlingguy.repo-remi), those repositories can be listed under this variable (e.g. remi,epel). This can be handy, as an example, if you want to install later versions of MySQL.
mysql_port: "3306"
mysql_datadir: /var/lib/mysql
mysql_socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Default MySQL connection configuration.
mysql_key_buffer_size: "256M"
mysql_max_allowed_packet: "1M"
mysql_table_open_cache: "256"
[...]
The rest of the settings in defaults/main.yml control MySQL's memory usage. The default values are tuned for a server where MySQL can consume ~512 MB RAM, so you should consider adjusting them to suit your particular server better.
None.
