mysql

Install the MySQL client and/or server.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Available states

• mysql
• mysql.client
• mysql.server
• mysql.disabled
• mysql.database
• mysql.python
• mysql.user
• mysql.remove_test_database
• mysql.dev

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.disabled

Ensure that the MySQL service is not running.

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.

mysql.dev

Install the MySQL development libraries and header files.

Note

Note that this state is not installed by the mysql meta-state unless you set your pillar data accordingly.
