MariaDB

This role installs MariaDB on Debian. It also installs python-mysqldb.

On first run, the test database and test user is removed. A .my.cnf config file is written in /root so you can connect without entering a password with any mariadb/mysql client as user root.

Requirements

Debian Wheezy/Jessie with the package python-pycurl and python-software-properties installed.

Role Variables

All the following variables are set in defaults.

Obviously, the mariadb_root_password would be a good candidate to set. if you add passwords to a version control system, use ansible-vault, or git-crypt

Because this role is for a clean install - it assumes an empty root password. The tasks for resetting the root password are only run on install/first activation of the service.
