This role installs and configures MariaDB - An enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL.

• RHEL 6
• FreeBSD 10

It will likely run on other platforms, just drop in vars/ a new file to support your os variant, vars are parsed in the following order/format:

• {{ ansible_distribution }}_{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}.yml
• {{ ansible_distribution }}.yml
• {{ ansible_os_family }}_{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}.yml
• {{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"

• For FreeBSD a working pkgng setup is required (see: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html )

By default this role will install MariaDB and provide a minimal (global) configuration, however variables can be passed to this role and configuration can be overridden, for additional informations please have a look to defaults/main.yml
