Work in progress rewrite of https://git.pvv.ntnu.no/Projects/mysql-admutils
Installation
The resulting binary will probably need to be marked as either SUID or SGID to work in a multi-user environment. The UID/GID of the binary should have access to the config file, which contains secrets to log in to an admin-like MySQL user. Preferrably, this UID/GID should not be root, in order to minimize the potential damage that can be done in case of security vulnerabilities in the program.
Development and testing
Ensure you have a rust toolchain installed.
In order to set up a test instance of mariadb in a docker container, run the following command:
docker run --rm --name mariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret -d mariadb:latest
You should then create a config file, and adjust the hostname to the IP address of the docker container.
cp ./example-config.toml ./config.toml
DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS="$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' mariadb)"
sed -i "s/host = \"localhost\"/host = \"${DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS}\"/" ./config.toml
You should now be able to connect to the mariadb instance, after building the program and using arguments to specify the config file.
cargo run -- --config-file ./config.toml <args>
# example usage
cargo run -- --config-file ./config.toml create-db "${USER}_testdb"
cargo run -- --config-file ./config.toml create-user "${USER}_testuser"
cargo run -- --config-file ./config.toml edit-db-perm -p "${USER}_testdb:${USER}_testuser:A"
cargo run -- --config-file ./config.toml show-db-perm
To stop and remove the container, run the following command:
docker stop mariadb
