Mysql module for Puppet

This module manages mysql on Linux (RedHat/Debian) distros. A native mysql provider implements database resource type to handle database, database user, and database permission.

Description

This module is based on work by David Schmitt. The following contributor have contributed patches to this module (beyond Puppet Labs):

• Christian G. Warden
• Daniel Black
• Justin Ellison
• Lowe Schmidt
• Matthias Pigulla

Usage

mysql

Installs the mysql-client package.

class { 'mysql': }

mysql::python

Installs mysql bindings for python.

class { 'mysql::python': }

mysql::ruby

Installs mysql bindings for ruby.

class { 'mysql::ruby': }

mysql::server

Installs mysql-server packages, configures my.cnf and starts mysqld service:

class { 'mysql::server':
  config_hash => { 'root_password' => 'foo' }
}

Database login information stored in /root/.my.cnf.

mysql::db

Creates a database with a user and assign some privileges.

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

Providers for database types:

MySQL provider supports puppet resources command:

$ puppet resource database
database { 'information_schema':
  ensure  => 'present',
  charset => 'utf8',
}
database { 'mysql':
  ensure  => 'present',
  charset => 'latin1',
}

The custom resources can be used in any other manifests:

database { 'mydb':
  charset => 'latin1',
}

database_user { 'bob@localhost':
  password_hash => mysql_password('foo')
}

database_grant { 'user@localhost/database':
  privileges => ['all'] ,
}

A resource default can be specified to handle dependency:

Database {
  require => Class['mysql::server'],
}
