vagrant-mysql-minimal

A quick way to run up MySQL 5.7 with minimal CentOS7

Details

Sets up 64-bit CentOS 7.0 base box, minimal install. Uses a bash script to provision MySQL 5.7.18.

Tested using Vagrant 1.8.7 on virtualbox 5.1.22

Side note: Running MySQL 5.7.7 or higher is good for using Laravel 5.4 to avoid the default string length issue here https://laravel.com/docs/master/migrations#creating-indexes

Installation

vagrant box add minimal/centos7
vagrant up

Database Setup

SSH into the VM

vagrant ssh

then

grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
mysql_secure_installation
mysql -u root -p
create user 'myuser'@'%' identified by 'mypassword';
grant privileges on *.* to 'myuser'@'%' with grant option;
flush privileges;

You can now access the database on port 33060 with username 'myuser' and password 'mypassword'

Note that MySQL 5.7 enforces a strict password policy by default
