- Replace legacy docker_container-based MariaDB deployment with docker-compose based workflow
- Add custom Dockerfile and docker-compose templates for MariaDB
- Split MariaDB command into separate arguments to avoid entrypoint parsing errors
- Introduce MARIADB_CUSTOM_IMAGE and MARIADB_EXPOSE_LOCAL variables
- Add docker_compose_flush_handlers to ensure correct handler execution on first run
- Replace utils/once/finalize.yml with utils/once/flag.yml for new run-once semantics

This Ansible role facilitates the deployment of a MariaDB server using Docker. It is designed to ensure ease of installation and configuration, with the flexibility to adapt to different environments.

Features

  • Dockerized MariaDB: Leverages Docker for MariaDB deployment, ensuring consistency across different environments.
  • Customizable Settings: Allows customization of the MariaDB instance through various Ansible variables.
  • Network Configuration: Includes setup of a dedicated Docker network for MariaDB.
  • Idempotent Design: Ensures that repeat runs of the playbook do not result in unwanted changes.
  • Security Focused: Implements best practices for securing the MariaDB root password.

Prerequisites

Before using this role, ensure you have the following:

  • Ansible installed on the control machine.
  • Docker installed on the target host(s).
  • Access to the target host(s) via SSH.

Configuration

  • central_mariadb_root_password: The root password for the MariaDB server.
  • database_name: The name of the initial database to create.
  • database_username: The username for the database user.
