MySQL fails to start when mysql_datadir is set to anything other than MySQL's default #510

Our Ansible playbooks use this role and set the MySQL datadir like this:

mysql_datadir: /data/mysql

When this is set the plays fail with this error on every database server:

fatal: [db05]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unable to start service mysql: Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.\nSee \"systemctl status mysql.service\" and \"journalctl -xeu mysql.service\" for details.\n"}

Then running sudo journalctl -xeu mysql turns up the following:

mysql-systemd-start[450456]: MySQL system database not found in /data/mysql. Please run mysqld --initialize

Unfortunately, running mysqld --initialize appears to work, but causes plays to fail at a later step with a MySQL permissions error. So it's not a viable workaround.

This issue is a duplicate of #399 , the bot closed it, despite it being a current issue.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
MySQL version: /usr/sbin/mysqld Ver 8.0.31-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

Note: I have a task to disable AppArmor for MySQL, so that's probably not the cause.

try to use
mysqld --initialize-insecure

@xeonic-ant Ah, thanks! I found another workaround (symlinking /var/lib/mysql/data/mysql), but if I hadn't I'd definitely give that a try.

Just want to note: even with a workaround, this role professes support for changing the datadir, so it should work.

@geerlingguy any suggestions on what to do? I am running into this trying to setup a new server on Ubuntu 22.04.

We disable / mask apparmor, so it isn't apparmor stopping it.

My settings

mysql_root_username: root
mysql_root_password: password
mysql_port: 3306

mysql_datadir: "/klib/data/mysql"
mysql_root_password_update: true

This is the error log after a fresh install and run of the playbook.

This will create the expected data directory. This most likely does not
address protections in place because of AppArmor on Ubuntu

I made a PR that will initialize a custom data directory. This does not handle any AppArmor issues, since we made the decision at this point to disable AppArmor locally.
