Ansible Role: MySQL

Installs MySQL server on RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS 6.x servers.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see vars/main.yml):

mysql_enablerepo: ""

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_root_password: root

The MySQL root user account password.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

- hosts: db-servers
  vars_files:
    - vars/main.yml
  roles:
    - { role: geerlingguy.mysql }

Inside vars/main.yml:

mysql_root_password: super-secure-password

TODO

• Convert my.cnf configuration to template, and allow for configurable variables.
