Support MariaDB

[rmccue]

Currently, we only support MySQL. It'd be nice to support MariaDB as well, as it seems like there's significant movement towards it and they just pumped out a new release.

Sounds like it's as easy as apt-get install mariadb-server, aka:

package { 'mariadb-server':
    ensure => latest
}

Relevant:

• Moving from MySQL
• Compatibility
• Puppet and MariaDB

+1 for this support. It should be that easy too:

The pre-10.x versions of Maria have always been drop-in compatible for me.

Not only do they seem to be outpacing MySQL on new features. They're beating them on stability too: I first switched when a large site had an odd, unsolvable memory leak on MySQL that Maria had fixed. It took another year before a MySQL release backported that code. On Mar 31, 2014 9:11 PM, "Ryan McCue" notifications@github.com wrote:

+1 for the MariaDB. It's worth it

VIP Go uses MariaDB, so it would be good to have this as an option in Chassis.

So it took me over 3 years to find time to do this. I had a few goes in the past at sorting this out and failed miserably. This afternoon I rethought how we can handle this and I've made this extension: https://github.com/Chassis/MariaDB

That extension won't work until https://github.com/Chassis/Chassis/issues/445 is merged though.

I finally got back to having another play around with this and got it working! https://github.com/chassis/mariadb 🚀
