Now that MariaDB is installed and running, we make a start on getting it configured. Our default installation of MariaDB has no root password defined, so that should be the first thing we set up. We can do this using the mysql_user module:
- name: change mysql root password mysql_user: name: "{{ mariadb_root_username }}" host: "{{ item }}" password: "{{ mariadb_root_password }}" check_implicit_admin: "yes" priv: "*.*:ALL,GRANT" with_items: "{{ mariadb_hosts }}"
As you can see, we have a few different variables in use; these are defined in roles/mariadb/defaults/main.yml as:
mariadb_root_username: "root"mariadb_root_password: "Pa55W0rd123"mariadb_hosts: - "127.0.0.1" - "::1" - "{{ ansible_nodename }}" - "%" - "localhost" ...
