This simple role installs MySQL 5.7 on Ubuntu Xenial and sets password for root user.

No special requirements; note that this role requires root access, so either run it in a playbook with a global become: yes, or invoke the role in your playbook like:

    - hosts: database
      roles:
        - role: tenequm.mysql
          become: yes

mysql_users:  # List
  - name: username # Username
    host: localhost # The 'host' part of username. Default is localhost.
    password: '' # User password as a string, can be omitted.
    priv: '' MySQL privileges. Can be omitted.
    state: absent # Whether user should exist. Default is `present`.

List of users to add. MySQL privileges string should be in the format: db.table:priv1,priv2. Multiple privileges can be specified by separating each one using a forward slash: db.table:priv/db.table:priv. The format is based on MySQL GRANT statement. Database and table names can be quoted, MySQL-style. If column privileges are used, the priv1,priv2 part must be exactly as returned by a SHOW GRANT statement. If not followed, the module will always report changes. It includes grouping columns by permission (SELECT(col1,col2) instead of SELECT(col1,SELECT(col2))).

mysql_databases: # List
  - name: dbname # Database name
    encoding: '' # Database encoding, can be omitted
    collation: '' # Database collation, can be omitted
    state: '' # Whether database should exist. Default is `present`.

List of databases to add. Takes name, encoding, collation and state parameters.

mysql_root_password: ''

You can set preferred password for MySQL root user. Default is root.

mysql_root_hosts: []

You can define from which hosts can be gained access with root user.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: servers
      roles:
         - { role: tenequm.mysql, mysql_root_password: toor }
