Module Description

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

The MySQL 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

If you want a server installed with the default options you can run include '::mysql::server'.

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

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

See Customizing 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.

Customizing Server Options

The hash structure for overrides in mysql::server can be structured like a hash in the my.cnf file, so:

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

For items that you would traditionally represent as

[section]
thing = X

you can make an entry like 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 separate lines.

MySQL doesn't care if 'thing' is alone or set to a value; it happily accepts both. To keep an option out of the my.cnf file --- e.g., when using override_options to revert to a default value --- you can pass thing => undef.

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

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

produces

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

Creating a database

To use mysql::db to create a database with a user and assign some privileges:

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

Or 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 param to a file when creating a database, the file gets imported into the new database.

For large sql files, you should raise the $import_timeout parameter, set by default to 300 seconds.

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

Custom Configuration

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

Working with an existing server

You can use the MySQL module to instantiate databases and users on an existing MySQL server. For this to work, you need an appropriate .my.cnf in root's home directory containing the remote server address and credentials. For example:

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

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

Parameters

mysql::server

create_root_user

Specify 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. create_root_user can be set to 'true' on one node while it is set to 'false' on the remaining nodes.

create_root_my_cnf

If set to 'true', creates /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. This can be used 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

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

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

See Customizing Server Options above for usage details.

config_file

The location, as a path, of the MySQL configuration file.

manage_config_file

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
• CentOS 5, 6, 7
• Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, 14.04
• Scientific Linux 5, 6
• SLES 11

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

Development

Puppet Labs 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.

• mysql::server::service now properly requires the presence of the log_error file
• mysql::config now occurs before mysql::server::install_db correctly

##2014-07-15 - Supported Release 2.3.1 ###Summary

This release merely updates metadata.json so the module can be uninstalled and upgraded via the puppet module command.

##2014-05-14 - Supported Release 2.3.0

This release primarily adds support for RHEL7 and Ubuntu 14.04 but it also adds a couple of new parameters to allow for further customization, as well as ensuring backups can backup stored procedures properly.

####Features Added execpath to allow a custom executable path for non-standard mysql installations. Added dbname to mysql::db and use ensure_resource to create the resource. Added support for RHEL7 and Fedora Rawhide. Added support for Ubuntu 14.04. Create a warning for if you disable SSL. Ensure the error logfile is owned by MySQL. Disable ssl on FreeBSD.

##2014-02-19 - Version 2.2.1

###Summary

Minor release that repairs mysql_database{} so that it sees the correct collation settings (it was only checking the global mysql ones, not the actual database and constantly setting it over and over since January 22nd).

Also fixes a bunch of tests on various platforms.

##2014-02-13 - Version 2.2.0

###Summary

####Features

• Add backupdirmode, backupdirowner, backupdirgroup to mysql::server::backup to allow customizing the mysqlbackupdir.
• Support multiple options of the same name, allowing you to do 'replicate-do-db' => ['base1', 'base2', 'base3'] in order to get three lines of replicate-do-db = base1, replicate-do-db = base2 etc.

####Bugfixes

• Fix restart so it actually stops mysql restarting if set to false.
• DRY out the defaults_file functionality in the providers.
• mysql_grant fixed to work with root@localhost/@.
• mysql_grant fixed for WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR
• mysql_grant fixed so revoking all privileges accounts for GRANT OPTION
• mysql_grant fixed to remove duplicate privileges.
• mysql_grant fixed to handle PROCEDURES when removing privileges.
• mysql_database won't try to create existing databases, breaking replication.
• bind_address renamed bind-address in 'mysqld' options.
• key_buffer renamed to key_buffer_size.
• log_error renamed to log-error.
• pid_file renamed to pid-file.
• Ensure mysql::server:root_password runs before mysql::server::backup
• Fix options_override -> override_options in the README.
• Extensively rewrite the README to be accurate and awesome.
• Move to requiring stdlib 3.2.0, shipped in PE3.0
• Add many new tests.

##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{}.

####Bugfixes

• Fix myql::server::monitor's use of mysql_user{} to grant the proper permissions. Add specs as well. (Thanks to treydock!)

##2013-10-03 - Version 2.0.0-rc2

###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.
• 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.

##2013-09-23 - Version 1.0.0
