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:

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:

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.
