![]() debconf.set which is used in mysql.server has a dependency on debconf-utils. If it is not installed the password will not be set and is cumbersome to change later on. |

mysql
Install the MySQL client and/or server.
Note
See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
Available states
mysql
Meta-state that includes all server packages in the correct order.
This meta-state does not include
mysql.remove_test_database
; see below for details.
mysql.client
Install the MySQL client package.
mysql.server
Install the MySQL server package and start the service.
Debian OS family supports setting MySQL root password during install via debconf.
Note
If no root password is provided in the pillar, a random one will be
created. Because Hydrogen doesn't have easy access to a random function
(test.rand_str isn't introduced until Helium), instead, we use the
not-at-all random grains.server_id
. As this is
cryptographically insecure, future formula versions should use the newly
available random.get_str
method.
mysql.database
Create and manage MySQL databases.
mysql.python
Install mysql python bindings.
mysql.user
Create and manage MySQL database users with definable GRANT privileges.
The state accepts MySQL hashed passwords or clear text. Hashed password have priority.
Note
See the salt.states.mysql_user docs for additional information on configuring hashed passwords.
Make sure to quote the passwords in the pillar so YAML doesn't throw an exception.
mysql.remove_test_database
Warning
Do not use this state if your MySQL instance has a database in use
called test
. If you do, it will be irrevocably removed!
Remove the database called test
, normally created as
part of a default MySQL installation. This state is not
included as part of the meta-state above as this name may conflict with
a real database.
Updating the supported parameters
The supported_params.yaml
file contains the full listing
of options that are acceptable in the MySQL options file. On occassion,
especially on new releases of MySQL, this file may need to be updated.
To update, run the supplied script (requires Python 3.x):
./scripts/parse_supported_params.py -o ./mysql/supported_params.yaml
This script will scrape the options from the official MySQL documentation online, and thus requires web access. Scraping is inherently brittle, though this script has been defensively coded, where possible.
Once the supported_params.yaml
file has been updated,
commit the result to the repository.
Support for new applications
To add support for configuration of other MySQL applications, add the URL and section identifier into the relevant section of the script. Consult the comments in the code to determine where your section should be added.
