Database Cookbook
|
|
=================
|
|
[](http://travis-ci.org/opscode-cookbooks/database)
|
|
[](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/database)
|
|
|
|
The main highlight of this cookbook is the `database` and
|
|
`database_user` resources for managing databases and database users in
|
|
a RDBMS. Providers for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server are also
|
|
provided, see usage documentation below.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
### Platforms
|
|
- Debian / Ubuntu derivatives
|
|
- RHEL derivatives
|
|
- Fedora
|
|
|
|
### Chef
|
|
- Chef 11+
|
|
|
|
### Cookbooks
|
|
The following Chef Software cookbooks are dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* postgresql
|
|
|
|
Resources/Providers
|
|
-------------------
|
|
These resources aim to expose an abstraction layer for interacting
|
|
with different RDBMS in a general way. Currently the cookbook ships
|
|
with providers for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Please see
|
|
specific usage in the __Example__ sections below. The providers use
|
|
specific Ruby gems installed under Chef's Ruby environment to execute
|
|
commands and carry out actions. These gems will need to be installed
|
|
before the providers can operate correctly. Specific notes for each
|
|
RDBS flavor:
|
|
|
|
- MySQL: leverages the `mysql2` gem, which can be installed with the
|
|
`mysql2_chef_gem` resource prior to use (available on the
|
|
Supermarket). You must depend on the `mysql2_chef_gem` cookbook,
|
|
then use a `mysql2_chef_gem` resource to install it. The resource
|
|
allows the user to select MySQL client library versions, as well as
|
|
optionally select MariaDB libraries.
|
|
|
|
- PostgreSQL: leverages the `pg` gem which is installed as part of the
|
|
`postgresql::ruby` recipe. You must declare `include_recipe
|
|
"database::postgresql"` to include this.
|
|
|
|
- SQL Server: leverages the `tiny_tds` gem which is installed as part
|
|
of the `sql_server::client` recipe.
|
|
|
|
### database
|
|
Manage databases in a RDBMS. Use the proper shortcut resource
|
|
depending on your RDBMS: `mysql_database`, `postgresql_database` or
|
|
`sql_server_database`.
|
|
|
|
#### Actions
|
|
- :create: create a named database
|
|
- :drop: drop a named database
|
|
- :query: execute an arbitrary query against a named database
|
|
|
|
#### Attribute Parameters
|
|
- database_name: name attribute. Name of the database to interact with
|
|
- connection: hash of connection info. valid keys include `:host`,
|
|
`:port`, `:username`, and `:password` (only for MySQL DB*)
|
|
|
|
- sql: string of sql or a block that executes to a string of sql,
|
|
which will be executed against the database. used by `:query` action
|
|
only
|
|
|
|
\* The database cookbook uses the `mysql2` gem.
|
|
|
|
> "The value of host may be either a host name or an IP address. If
|
|
host is NULL or the string "127.0.0.1", a connection to the local
|
|
host is assumed. For Windows, the client connects using a
|
|
shared-memory connection, if the server has shared-memory
|
|
connections enabled. Otherwise, TCP/IP is used. For a host value of
|
|
"." on Windows, the client connects using a named pipe, if the
|
|
server has named-pipe connections enabled. If named-pipe connections
|
|
are not enabled, an error occurs."
|
|
|
|
If you specify a `:socket` key and are using the mysql_service
|
|
resource to set up the MySQL service, you'll need to specify the path
|
|
in the form `/var/run/mysql-<instance name>/mysqld.sock`.
|
|
|
|
#### Providers
|
|
- `Chef::Provider::Database::Mysql`: shortcut resource `mysql_database`
|
|
- `Chef::Provider::Database::Postgresql`: shortcut resource `postgresql_database`
|
|
- `Chef::Provider::Database::SqlServer`: shortcut resource `sql_server_database`
|
|
|
|

Recipes
|
|
-------
|
|
### ebs_volume
|
|
*Note*: This recipe does not currently work on RHEL platforms due to the xfs cookbook not supporting RHEL yet.
|
|
|
|
Loads the aws information from the data bag. Searches the applications data bag for the database master or slave role and checks that role is applied to the node. Loads the EBS information and the master information from data bags. Uses the aws cookbook LWRP, `aws_ebs_volume` to manage the volume.
|
|
|
|
On a master node:
|
|
- if we have an ebs volume already as stored in a data bag, attach it
|
|
- if we don't have the ebs information then create a new one and attach it
|
|
- store the volume information in a data bag via a ruby block
|
|
|
|
On a slave node:
|
|
- use the master volume information to generate a snapshot
|
|
- create the new volume from the snapshot and attach it
|
|
|
|
Also on a master node, generate some configuration for running a snapshot via `chef-solo` from cron.
|
|
|
|
On a new filesystem volume, create as XFS, then mount it in `/mnt`, and also bind-mount it to the mysql data directory (default `/var/lib/mysql`).
|
|
|
|
### master
|
|
This recipe no longer loads AWS specific information, and the database position for replication is no longer stored in a databag because the client might not have permission to write to the databag item. This may be handled in a different way at a future date.
|
|
|
|
Searches the apps databag for applications, and for each one it will check that the specified database master role is set in both the databag and applied to the node's run list. Then, retrieves the passwords for `root`, `repl` and `debian` users and saves them to the node attributes. If the passwords are not found in the databag, it prints a message that they'll be generated by the mysql cookbook.
|
|
|
|
Then it adds the application databag database settings to a hash, to use later.
|
|
|
|
Then it will iterate over the databases and create them with the `mysql_database` resource while adding privileges for application specific database users using the `mysql_database_user` resource.
|
|
|
|
### slave
|
|
_TODO_: Retrieve the master status from a data bag, then start replication using a ruby block. The replication status needs to be handled in some other way for now since the master recipe above doesn't actually set it in the databag anymore.
|
|
|
|
### snapshot
|
|
Run via Chef Solo. Retrieves the db snapshot configuration from the specified JSON file. Uses the `mysql_database` resource to lock and unlock tables, and does a filesystem freeze and EBS snapshot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Recipes
|
|
------------------
|
|
The following recipe is considered deprecated. It is kept for reference purposes.
|
|
|
|
### ebs_backup
|
|
Older style of doing mysql snapshot and replication using Adam Jacob's [ec2_mysql](http://github.com/adamhjk/ec2_mysql) script and library.

This cookbook uses the apps data bag item for the specified application; see the `application` cookbook's README.md. It also creates data bag items in a bag named 'aws' for storing volume information. In order to interact with EC2, it expects aws to have a main item:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "main",
|
|
"ec2_private_key": "private key as a string",
|
|
"ec2_cert": "certificate as a string",
|
|
"aws_account_id": "",
|
|
"aws_secret_access_key": "",
|
|
"aws_access_key_id": ""
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: with the Open Source Chef Server, the server using the database recipes must be an admin client or it will not be able to create data bag items. You can modify whether the client is admin by editing it with knife.
|
|
|
|
knife client edit <client_name>
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"admin": true
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This is not required if the Chef Server is Chef Software Hosted Chef, instead use the ACL feature to modify access for the node to be able to update the data bag.

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
Aside from the application data bag (see the README in the application cookbook), create a role for the database master. Use a `role.rb` in your chef-repo, or create the role directly with knife.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "my_app_database_master",
|
|
"chef_type": "role",
|
|
"json_class": "Chef::Role",
|
|
"default_attributes": {},
|
|
"description": "",
|
|
"run_list": [
|
|
"recipe[mysql::server]",
|
|
"recipe[database::master]"
|
|
],
|
|
"override_attributes": {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a `production` environment. This is also used in the `application` cookbook.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "production",
|
|
"description": "",
|
|
"cookbook_versions": {},
|
|
"json_class": "Chef::Environment",
|
|
"chef_type": "environment",
|
|
"default_attributes": {},
|
|
"override_attributes": {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The cookbook `my_app_database` is recommended to set up any
|
|
application specific database resources such as configuration
|
|
templates, trending monitors, etc. It is not required, but you would
|
|
need to create it separately in `site-cookbooks`. Add it to the
|
|
`my_app_database_master` role.
