##Overview

This module installs, manages and configures mariadb.

##Module Description

The module is based on stdmod naming standards version 0.9.0.

Refer to http://github.com/stdmod/ for complete documentation on the common parameters.

##Setup

###Resources managed by mariadb module

  • This module installs the mariadb package
  • Enables the mariadb service
  • Can manage all the configuration files (by default no file is changed)

###Setup Requirements

  • PuppetLabs stdlib module
  • StdMod stdmod module
  • Puppet version >= 2.7.x
  • Facter version >= 1.6.2

###Beginning with module mariadb

To install the package provided by the module just include it:

    include mariadb

The main class arguments can be provided either via Hiera (from Puppet 3.x) or direct parameters:

    class { 'mariadb':
      parameter => value,
    }

The module provides also a generic define to manage any mariadb configuration file:

    mariadb::conf { 'sample.conf':
      content => '# Test',
    }

##Usage

  • Install version 5.5 (by default version 10.0 is installed). This changes the repos used for packages.

      class { 'mariadb':
        version => '5.5',
      }
    
  • Install Galera engine

      class { 'mariadb':
        galera_install => true,
      }
    
  • A common way to use this module involves the management of the main configuration file via a custom template (provided in a custom site module):

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_file_template => 'site/mariadb/mariadb.conf.erb',
      }
    
  • You can write custom templates that use setting provided but the config_file_options_hash paramenter

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_file_template      => 'site/mariadb/mariadb.conf.erb',
        config_file_options_hash  => {
          opt  => 'value',
          opt2 => 'value2',
        },
      }
    
  • Use custom source (here an array) for main configuration file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_file_source => [ "puppet:///modules/site/mariadb/mariadb.conf-${hostname}" ,
                                "puppet:///modules/site/mariadb/mariadb.conf" ],
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory, where present.

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_dir_source  => 'puppet:///modules/site/mariadb/conf/',
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory and purge all the local files that are not on the dir. Note: This option can be used to be sure that the content of a directory is exactly the same you expect, but it is desctructive and may remove files.

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_dir_source => 'puppet:///modules/site/mariadb/conf/',
        config_dir_purge  => true, # Default: false.
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir and define recursing policy.

      class { 'mariadb':
        config_dir_source    => 'puppet:///modules/site/mariadb/conf/',
        config_dir_recursion => false, # Default: true.
      }
