MariaDB
=======

This role installs MariaDB, including:
  - Monitoring with Monit and Munin
  - Backups with automysqlbackup

## Configuration

Create a dictionary called `mysqld` and define your settings.
You can use all upstream configuration items:
```YAML
mysqld:
  bind_address: 0.0.0.0
  slow_query_log: 1
  ...
```

## Changes to the Systemd service

Use the following options to configure your MariaDB service:

```YAML
mariadb_service
  limitnofile: 64184
  restart: on-failure
```

## Backup

For daily backups we use automysqlbackup. You can configure it via the dict
`automysqlbackup_config`. You can use every upstream configuration item in this dict.
Just lowercase it. Note: You have to use _true_ and _yes_ as boolean values and you need to quote them.

Have a look at `defaults/main.yml` for our defaults.
