Remarks

(1) To remove remote connection for mysql root user, set the parameter deny_remote_connections: true. E.g.: defaults/main.yml

deny_remote_connections: true

(2) It is highly recommended to set the database root password! Leaving the password empty is a security risk. The role will issue a warning if the variable was not set. Default Password "azerty" defaults/main.yml

mysql_root_password: 'azerty'

(3) To import sql script in databases, set import_sql_file: true, define sql_file_name and put your sql scripts in files directory (mahdi22.mariadb_install/files/). E.g.: defaults/main.yml

import_sql_file: true
sql_file_name:
    - sqlscript1.sql
    - sqlscript2.sql
    - sqlscriptN.sql
