devopera-domysqldb

MySQL is the cornerstone of the Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) stack. It's the single most popular open-source database engine. This Devopera install configures both client and server, including dynamically-allocated server settings to maximise MySQL performance for each host type.

Usage

Setup MySQL server

class { 'domysqldb' : }

Setup with a given root password

class { 'domysqldb':
  root_password => 'admLn**',
}

Override given settings for each mysql component, e.g. key_buffer_size for mysqld

class { 'domysqldb':
  root_password => 'admLn**',
  settings = {
    'mysqld' => {
      'key_buffer_size' => '32M',
    }
  }
}

Tell MySQL to use a fixed buffer size, not to derive it as a fraction of available RAM (default behaviour) class { 'domysqldb': root_password => 'admLn**', settings = { 'mysqld' => { 'innodb_buffer_pool_size' => 512M, } } }

Operating System support

Tested with CentOS 6, Ubuntu 12.04
