bp-percona

Installs and configures Percona on a Debian system

Requirements

Chef 0.11+.

Platform

• Debian only

Tested on:

• Debian Wheezy
• Debian Jessie
• CentOS 6.5

mysql-chef_gem

Do not install mysql-chef_gem in your cookbooks. This is beeing installed in bp-percona::_prerequisites. If you call mysql-chef_gem::default yourself percona will be uninstalled due the dependency to mysql.

Usage

If you want to install the server, you need to create a data bag with the creditials ('root', 'debian', 'replication') first.

Include bp-percona::_server if you want to install the full server or bp-percona::_client if you only need the client libraries and tools.

In the end you should be able to create databases, user etc. using the Opscode database cookbook. You find an example in recipes/testdb.rb.

Cookbooks

• default - Installs a database server
• _server - Installs the Percona database server
• _client - Only installs the client utilities
• testdb - Uses opscode 'database' cookbook to install a test db and user. This can be used as an example.

Resources and Providers

none

Attributes

• ['bp-percona']['version'] - Which version to the installed ('5.5' or '5.6')
• ['bp-percona']['with_xtradb_backup'] - Install xtradb backup
• ['bp-percona']['credidentials'] - An array ([3]) pointing to the data bag holding the 'root', 'debian' and 'replication' passwords

The rest of the attributes are named after the options in my.cnf. See http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server for details.

Data bags

You need a data bag holding the 'root', 'debian' and 'replication' passwords. It's name is defined in node['bp-percona']['credidentials']. In the data base are stored instances (third item in the array).

F.ex.

{
  "id": "mysql",
  "testing": {
    "root": "rootpw",
    "debian": "debianpw",
    "replication": "replicationpw"
  }
}
