mysql already has its socket path hardcoded to to
/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.
There's not much value in making the pidDir configurable, which also
points to /run/mysqld by default.
We only seem to use `services.mysql.pidDir` in the wordpress startup
script, to wait for mysql to boot up, but we can also simply wait on the
(hardcoded) socket location too.
A much nicer way to accomplish that would be to properly describe a
dependency on mysqld.service. This however is not easily doable, due to
how the apache-httpd module was designed.
As we don't need to setup data directories from ExecStartPre= scripts
anymore, which required root, but use systemd.tmpfiles.rules instead,
everything can be run as just the mysql user.
define commands like "waiting for the mysql socket to appear" or "setup
initial databases" in a let expression, so the main control flow becomes
more readable.
We need to keep using `RuntimeDirectory=mysqld`, which translates to
`/run/mysqld`, as this is used for the location of the file socket, that
could differ with what is configured via `cfg.pidDir`.
which was wrongly specified as types.lines
Prevent it from getting copied to nix store as people might use it for
credentials, and make the tests cover it.
The default galera_new_cluster script tries to set this environment
variable using systemctl set-environment which doesn't work if the
variable is not being used in the unit file ;)
While this seems silly at first (it's already given as start parameter
to mysqld), it seems like xtrabackup needs that sometimes.
Without it, a Galera cluster cannot be run using the xtrabackup
replication method.
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
1) Change start-type to ```notify``` when running MariaDB so that we don't have to busy-wait for the
socket to appear.
2) Do not manually create the directory under /run as we can get systemd to do
that for us. This opens up the possibility later for not having to launch as root.
Comparing packages via equality will lead to different results when package and module are from different
`nixpkgs` checkouts.
Also, because MariaDB is actually supported, added a note to option description to make this knowledge more discover-able.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
