+# MySQL
+
+[MySQL](https://MySQL.org) is one of the most popular database servers in the world. Notable users include Wikipedia, Facebook and Google.
+
+## Introduction
+
+This chart bootstraps a single node MySQL deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes 1.10+ with Beta APIs enabled
+- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
+
+## Installing the Chart
+
+To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
+
+```bash
+$ helm install --name my-release stable/mysql
+```
+
+The command deploys MySQL on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
+
+By default a random password will be generated for the root user. If you'd like to set your own password change the mysqlRootPassword
+in the values.yaml.
+
+You can retrieve your root password by running the following command. Make sure to replace [YOUR_RELEASE_NAME]:
+
+ printf $(printf '\%o' `kubectl get secret [YOUR_RELEASE_NAME]-mysql -o jsonpath="{.data.mysql-root-password[*]}"`)
+
+> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
+
+## Uninstalling the Chart
+
+To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
+
+```bash
+$ helm delete --purge my-release
+```
+
+The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release completely.
+

+
+Some of the parameters above map to the env variables defined in the [MySQL DockerHub image](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/).
+
+Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,
+
+```bash
+$ helm install --name my-release \
+ --set mysqlRootPassword=secretpassword,mysqlUser=my-user,mysqlPassword=my-password,mysqlDatabase=my-database \
+ stable/mysql
+```
+
+The above command sets the MySQL `root` account password to `secretpassword`. Additionally it creates a standard database user named `my-user`, with the password `my-password`, who has access to a database named `my-database`.
+
+Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
+
+```bash
+$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/mysql
+```
+
+> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)
+
+## Persistence
+
+The [MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/) image stores the MySQL data and configurations at the `/var/lib/mysql` path of the container.
+
+By default a PersistentVolumeClaim is created and mounted into that directory. In order to disable this functionality
+you can change the values.yaml to disable persistence and use an emptyDir instead.
+
+> *"An emptyDir volume is first created when a Pod is assigned to a Node, and exists as long as that Pod is running on that node. When a Pod is removed from a node for any reason, the data in the emptyDir is deleted forever."*
+
+**Notice**: You may need to increase the value of `livenessProbe.initialDelaySeconds` when enabling persistence by using PersistentVolumeClaim from PersistentVolume with varying properties. Since its IO performance has impact on the database initialization performance. The default limit for database initialization is `60` seconds (`livenessProbe.initialDelaySeconds` + `livenessProbe.periodSeconds` * `livenessProbe.failureThreshold`). Once such initialization process takes more time than this limit, kubelet will restart the database container, which will interrupt database initialization then causing persisent data in an unusable state.
+
+## Custom MySQL configuration files
+
+The [MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/) image accepts custom configuration files at the path `/etc/mysql/conf.d`. If you want to use a customized MySQL configuration, you can create your alternative configuration files by passing the file contents on the `configurationFiles` attribute. Note that according to the MySQL documentation only files ending with `.cnf` are loaded.
+
+```yaml
+configurationFiles:
+ mysql.cnf: |-
+ [mysqld]
+ skip-host-cache
+ skip-name-resolve
+ sql-mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
+ mysql_custom.cnf: |-
+ [mysqld]
+```
+
+## MySQL initialization files
+
+The [MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/) image accepts *.sh, *.sql and *.sql.gz files at the path `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d`.
+These files are being run exactly once for container initialization and ignored on following container restarts.
+If you want to use initialization scripts, you can create initialization files by passing the file contents on the `initializationFiles` attribute.
+
+
+```yaml
+initializationFiles:
+ first-db.sql: |-
+ CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS first DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
+ second-db.sql: |-
+ CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS second DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
+```
+
+## SSL
+
+This chart supports configuring MySQL to use [encrypted connections](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/encrypted-connections.html) with TLS/SSL certificates provided by the user. This is accomplished by storing the required Certificate Authority file, the server public key certificate, and the server private key as a Kubernetes secret. The SSL options for this chart support the following use cases:
+
+* Manage certificate secrets with helm
+* Manage certificate secrets outside of helm
+
+## Manage certificate secrets with helm
+
+Include your certificate data in the `ssl.certificates` section. For example:
+
+```
+ssl:
+ enabled: false
+ secret: mysql-ssl-certs
+ certificates:
+ - name: mysql-ssl-certs
+ ca: |-
+ -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+ ...
+ -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+ cert: |-
+ -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+ ...
+ -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+ key: |-
+ -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+ ...
+ -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+```
+
+> **Note**: Make sure your certificate data has the correct formatting in the values file.
+
+## Manage certificate secrets outside of helm
+
+1. Ensure the certificate secret exist before installation of this chart.
+2. Set the name of the certificate secret in `ssl.secret`.
+3. Make sure there are no entries underneath `ssl.certificates`.
+
+To manually create the certificate secret from local files you can execute:
+```
+kubectl create secret generic mysql-ssl-certs \
+ --from-file=ca.pem=./ssl/certificate-authority.pem \
+ --from-file=server-cert.pem=./ssl/server-public-key.pem \
+ --from-file=server-key.pem=./ssl/server-private-key.pem
+```
+> **Note**: `ca.pem`, `server-cert.pem`, and `server-key.pem` **must** be used as the key names in this generic secret.
+
+If you are using a certificate your configurationFiles must include the three ssl lines under [mysqld]
+
+```
+[mysqld]
+ ssl-ca=/ssl/ca.pem
+ ssl-cert=/ssl/server-cert.pem
+ ssl-key=/ssl/server-key.pem
+```
