Module Description

The mysql module installs, configures, and manages the MySQL service.

This module manages both the installation and configuration of MySQL, as well as extending Puppet to allow management of MySQL resources, such as databases, users, and grants.

Setup

Beginning with mysql

To install a server with the default options:

include '::mysql::server'.

To customize options, such as the root password or /etc/my.cnf settings, you must also pass in an override hash:

class { '::mysql::server':
  root_password           => 'strongpassword',
  remove_default_accounts => true,
  override_options        => $override_options
}

See Customize Server Options below for examples of the hash structure for $override_options.

Usage

All interaction for the server is done via mysql::server. To install the client, use mysql::client. To install bindings, use mysql::bindings.

Customize server options

To define server options, structure a hash structure of overrides in mysql::server. This hash resembles a hash in the my.cnf file:

$override_options = {
  'section' => {
    'item' => 'thing',
  }
}

For options that you would traditionally represent in this format:

[section]
thing = X

Entries can be created as thing => true, thing => value, or thing => "" in the hash. Alternatively, you can pass an array as thing => ['value', 'value2'] or list each thing => value separately on individual lines.

You can pass a variable in the hash without setting a value for it; the variable would then use MySQL's default settings. To exclude an option from the my.cnf file --- for example, when using override_options to revert to a default value --- pass thing => undef.

If an option needs multiple instances, pass an array. For example,

$override_options = {
  'mysqld' => {
    'replicate-do-db' => ['base1', 'base2'],
  }
}

produces

[mysqld]
replicate-do-db = base1
replicate-do-db = base2

To implement version specific parameters, specify the version, such as [mysqld-5.5]. This allows one config for different versions of MySQL.

Create a database

To create a database with a user and some assigned privileges:

mysql::db { 'mydb':
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
}

To use a different resource name with exported resources:

 @@mysql::db { "mydb_${fqdn}":
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  dbname   => 'mydb',
  host     => ${fqdn},
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
  tag      => $domain,
}

Then you can collect it on the remote DB server:

Mysql::Db <<| tag == $domain |>>

If you set the sql parameter to a file when creating a database, the file is imported into the new database.

For large sql files, increase the import_timeout parameter, which defaults to 300 seconds.

mysql::db { 'mydb':
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => 'mypass',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
  sql      => '/path/to/sqlfile.gz',
  import_cat_cmd => 'zcat',
  import_timeout => 900,
}

Customize configuration

To add custom MySQL configuration, place additional files into includedir. This allows you to override settings or add additional ones, which is helpful if you don't use override_options in mysql::server. The includedir location is by default set to /etc/mysql/conf.d.

Work with an existing server

To instantiate databases and users on an existing MySQL server, you need a .my.cnf file in root's home directory. This file must specify the remote server address and credentials. For example:

[client]
user=root
host=localhost
password=secret

This module uses the mysqld_version fact to discover the server version being used. By default, this is set to the output of mysqld -V. If you're working with a remote MySQL server, you may need to set a custom fact for mysqld_version to ensure correct behaviour.

When working with a remote server, do not use the mysql::server class in your Puppet manifests.

Specify passwords

In addition to passing passwords as plain text, you can input them as hashes. For example:

mysql::db { 'mydb':
  user     => 'myuser',
  password => '*6C8989366EAF75BB670AD8EA7A7FC1176A95CEF4',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'UPDATE'],
}

Install Percona server on CentOS

This example shows how to do a minimal installation of a Percona server on a CentOS system. This sets up the Percona server, client, and bindings (including Perl and Python bindings). You can customize this usage and update the version as needed.

This usage has been tested on Puppet 4.4 / CentOS 7 / Percona Server 5.7.

Note: The installation of the yum repository is not part of this package and is here only to show a full example of how you can install.

yumrepo { 'percona':
  descr    => 'CentOS $releasever - Percona',
  baseurl  => 'http://repo.percona.com/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/',
  gpgkey   => 'http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/RPM-GPG-KEY-percona',
  enabled  => 1,
  gpgcheck => 1,
}

class {'mysql::server':
  package_name     => 'Percona-Server-server-57',
  package_ensure   => '5.7.11-4.1.el7',
  service_name     => 'mysql',
  config_file      => '/etc/my.cnf',
  includedir       => '/etc/my.cnf.d',
  root_password    => 'PutYourOwnPwdHere',
  override_options => {
    mysqld => {
      log-error => '/var/log/mysqld.log',
      pid-file  => '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid',
    },
    mysqld_safe => {
      log-error => '/var/log/mysqld.log',
    },
  }
}

# Note: Installing Percona-Server-server-57 also installs Percona-Server-client-57.
# This shows how to install the Percona MySQL client on its own
class {'mysql::client':
  package_name   => 'Percona-Server-client-57',
  package_ensure => '5.7.11-4.1.el7',
}

# These packages are normally installed along with Percona-Server-server-57
# If you needed to install the bindings, however, you could do so with this code
class { 'mysql::bindings':
  client_dev_package_name   => 'Percona-Server-shared-57',
  client_dev_package_ensure => '5.7.11-4.1.el7',
  client_dev                => true,
  daemon_dev_package_name   => 'Percona-Server-devel-57',
  daemon_dev_package_ensure => '5.7.11-4.1.el7',
  daemon_dev                => true,
  perl_enable               => true,
  perl_package_name         => 'perl-DBD-MySQL',
  python_enable             => true,

Install MariaDB on Ubuntu

Optional: Install the MariaDB official repo

In this example, we'll use the latest stable (currently 10.1) from the official MariaDB repository, not the one from the distro repository. You could instead use the package from the Ubuntu repository. Make sure you use the repository corresponding to the version you want.

Note: sfo1.mirrors.digitalocean.com is one of many mirrors available. You can use any official mirror.

include apt

apt::source { 'mariadb':
  location => 'http://sfo1.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu',
  release  => $::lsbdistcodename,
  repos    => 'main',
  key      => {
    id     => '199369E5404BD5FC7D2FE43BCBCB082A1BB943DB',
    server => 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80',
  },
  include => {
    src   => false,
    deb   => true,
  },
}

Install the MariaDB server

This example shows MariaDB server installation on Ubuntu Trusty. Adjust the version and the parameters of my.cnf as needed. All parameters of the my.cnf can be defined using the override_options parameter.

The folders /var/log/mysql and /var/run/mysqld are created automatically, but if you are using other custom folders, they should exist as prerequisites for this code.

All the values set here are an example of a working minimal configuration.

Specify the version of the package you want with the package_ensure parameter.

class {'::mysql::server':
  package_name     => 'mariadb-server',
  package_ensure   => '10.1.14+maria-1~trusty',
  service_name     => 'mysql',
  root_password    => 'AVeryStrongPasswordUShouldEncrypt!',
  override_options => {
    mysqld => {
      'log-error' => '/var/log/mysql/mariadb.log',
      'pid-file'  => '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid',
    },
    mysqld_safe => {
      'log-error' => '/var/log/mysql/mariadb.log',
    },
  }
}

# Dependency management. Only use that part if you are installing the repository
# as shown in the Preliminary step of this example.
Apt::Source['mariadb'] ~>
Class['apt::update'] ->
Class['::mysql::server']

Install the MariaDB client

This example shows how to install the MariaDB client and all of the bindings at once. You can do this installation separately from the server installation.

Specify the version of the package you want with the package_ensure parameter.

class {'::mysql::client':
  package_name    => 'mariadb-client',
  package_ensure  => '10.1.14+maria-1~trusty',
  bindings_enable => true,
}

Parameters

mysql::server

create_root_user

Whether root user should be created.

Valid values are true, false.

Defaults to true.

This is useful for a cluster setup with Galera. The root user has to be created only once. You can set this parameter true on one node and set it to false on the remaining nodes.

create_root_my_cnf

Whether to create /root/.my.cnf.

Valid values are true, false.

Defaults to true.

create_root_my_cnf allows creation of /root/.my.cnf independently of create_root_user. You can use this for a cluster setup with Galera where you want /root/.my.cnf to exist on all nodes.

root_password

The MySQL root password. Puppet attempts to set the root password and update /root/.my.cnf with it.

This is required if create_root_user or create_root_my_cnf are true. If root_password is 'UNSET', then create_root_user and create_root_my_cnf are assumed to be false --- that is, the MySQL root user and /root/.my.cnf are not created.

Password changes are supported; however, the old password must be set in /root/.my.cnf. Effectively, Puppet uses the old password, configured in /root/my.cnf, to set the new password in MySQL, and then updates /root/.my.cnf with the new password.

old_root_password

This parameter no longer does anything. It exists only for backwards compatibility. See the root_password parameter above for details on changing the root password.

override_options

Specifies override options to pass into MySQL. Structured like a hash in the my.cnf file:

$override_options = {
  'section' => {
    'item'             => 'thing',
  }
}

See Customize Server Options above for usage details.

SSL-related options for a MySQL account, using one or more tls_option values. 'NONE' specifies that the account has no TLS options enforced, and the available options are 'SSL', 'X509', 'CIPHER cipher', 'ISSUER issuer', 'SUBJECT subject'; as stated in the MySQL documentation.

mysql_grant

mysql_grant creates grant permissions to access databases within MySQL. To create grant permissions to access databases with MySQL, use it you must create the title of the resource as shown below, following the pattern of username@hostname/database.table:

mysql_grant { 'root@localhost/*.*':
  ensure     => 'present',
  options    => ['GRANT'],
  privileges => ['ALL'],
  table      => '*.*',
  user       => 'root@localhost',
}

It is possible to specify privileges down to the column level:

mysql_grant { 'root@localhost/mysql.user':
  ensure     => 'present',
  privileges => ['SELECT (Host, User)'],
  table      => 'mysql.user',
  user       => 'root@localhost',
}

To revoke GRANT privilege specify ['NONE'].

ensure

Whether the resource is present.

Valid values are 'present', 'absent'.

Defaults to 'present'.

name

Name to describe the grant. Must in a 'user/table' format.

privileges

Privileges to grant the user.

table

The table to which privileges are applied.

user

User to whom privileges are granted.

options

MySQL options to grant. Optional.

mysql_plugin

mysql_plugin can be used to load plugins into the MySQL Server.

mysql_plugin { 'auth_socket':
  ensure     => 'present',
  soname     => 'auth_socket.so',
}

ensure

Whether the resource is present.

Valid values are 'present', 'absent'.

Defaults to 'present'.

name

The name of the MySQL plugin to manage.

soname

The library file name.

mysql_datadir

Initializes the MySQL data directory with version specific code. Pre MySQL 5.7.6 it uses mysql_install_db. After MySQL 5.7.6 it uses mysqld --initialize-insecure.

Insecure initialization is needed, as mysqld version 5.7 introduced 'secure by default' mode. This means MySQL generates a random password and writes it to STDOUT. This means puppet can never access the database server afterwards, as no credentials are available.

This type is an internal type and should not be called directly.

Facts

mysql_version

Determines the MySQL version by parsing the output from mysql --version

mysql_server_id

Generates a unique id, based on the node's MAC address, which can be used as server_id. This fact will always return 0 on nodes that have only loopback interfaces. Because those nodes aren't connected to the outside world, this shouldn't cause any conflicts.

Limitations

This module has been tested on:

• RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7
• Debian 6, 7, 8
• CentOS 5, 6, 7
• Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, 14.04, 16.04
• Scientific Linux 5, 6
• SLES 11

Testing on other platforms has been minimal and cannot be guaranteed.

Note: The mysqlbackup.sh does not work and is not supported on MySQL 5.7 and greater.

Development

Puppet modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can't access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

Check out our the complete module contribution guide.

Summary

Features

• Add backupdirmode, backupdirowner, backupdirgroup to mysql::server::backup to allow customizing the mysqlbackupdir.

2013-11-13 - Version 2.1.0

Summary

The most important changes in 2.1.0 are improvements to the my.cnf creation, as well as providers. Setting options to = true strips them to be just the key name itself, which is required for some options.

The provider updates fix a number of bugs, from lowercase privileges to deprecation warnings.

Last, the new hiera integration functionality should make it easier to externalize all your grants, users, and, databases. Another great set of community submissions helped to make this release.

Features

• Some options can not take a argument. Gets rid of the '= true' when an option is set to true.
• Easier hiera integration: Add hash parameters to mysql::server to allow specifying grants, users, and databases.

Bugfixes

• Fix an issue with lowercase privileges in mysql_grant{} causing them to be reapplied needlessly.
• Changed defaults-file to defaults-extra-file in providers.
• Ensure /root/.my.cnf is 0600 and root owned.
• database_user deprecation warning was incorrect.
• Add anchor pattern for client.pp
• Documentation improvements.
• Various test fixes.

2013-10-21 - Version 2.0.1

Summary

This is a bugfix release to handle an issue where unsorted mysql_grant{} privileges could cause Puppet to incorrectly reapply the permissions on each run.

Bugfixes

• Mysql_grant now sorts privileges in the type and provider for comparison.
• Comment and test tweak for PE3.1.

2013-10-14 - Version 2.0.0

Summary

(Previously detailed in the changelog for 2.0.0-rc1)

This module has been completely refactored and works significantly different. The changes are broad and touch almost every piece of the module.

See the README.md for full details of all changes and syntax. Please remain on 1.0.0 if you don't have time to fully test this in dev.

• mysql::server, mysql::client, and mysql::bindings are the primary interface classes.
• mysql::server takes an override_options parameter to set my.cnf options, with the hash format: { 'section' => { 'thing' => 'value' }}
• mysql attempts backwards compatibility by forwarding all parameters to mysql::server.

2013-10-09 - Version 2.0.0-rc5

Summary

Hopefully the final rc! Further fixes to mysql_grant (stripping out the cleverness so we match a much wider range of input.)

Bugfixes

• Make mysql_grant accept '.'@'.' in terms of input for user@host.

2013-10-09 - Version 2.0.0-rc4

Summary

Bugfixes to mysql_grant and mysql_user form the bulk of this rc, as well as ensuring that values in the override_options hash that contain a value of '' are created as just "key" in the conf rather than "key =" or "key = false".

Bugfixes

• Improve mysql_grant to work with IPv6 addresses (both long and short).
• Ensure @host users work as well as user@host users.
• Updated my.cnf template to support items with no values.

2013-10-07 - Version 2.0.0-rc3

Summary

Fix mysql::server::monitor's use of mysql_user{}.

Summary

Bugfixes

Bugfixes

• Fix a duplicate parameter in mysql::server

2013-10-03 - Version 2.0.0-rc1

Summary

This module has been completely refactored and works significantly different. The changes are broad and touch almost every piece of the module.

See the README.md for full details of all changes and syntax. Please remain on 1.0.0 if you don't have time to fully test this in dev.

• mysql::server, mysql::client, and mysql::bindings are the primary interface classes.
