The playbook

The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.

1. 01recondistribution, version and package manager (apt or dnf)
2. 02reconMySQL or MariaDB already present? (MariaDB installed → do not install MySQL)
3. 03reconan active MySQL/MariaDB service?
4. 04reconport 3306 already taken?
5. 05reconexisting configuration, its location and bind-address
6. 06recondoes /root/.my.cnf already exist? (do not overwrite it)
7. 07actInstall MySQLverify
8. 08actEnable and startverify
9. 09actProtect root (only if root has no password)verify
10. 10actHarden the installationverify
11. 11actListen on localhost onlyverify

What it verifies

Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.

1. 01verifyInstall MySQLVerified bymysqld --version
2. 02verifyEnable and startVerified bysystemctl is-active mysql mysqld 2>/dev/null | grep -c '^active'
3. 03verifyProtect root (only if root has no password)Verified bymysql -NBe 'select 1'
4. 04verifyHarden the installationVerified bymysql -NBe "select count(*) from mysql.user where user=''"
5. 05verifyListen on localhost onlyVerified byss -tlnH "sport = :3306"

Guardrails

Non-negotiable instructions the run must respect, whatever it finds on the server.

How a recipe runs in Servor

Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.

Deploy on Servor button

Maintain MySQL or a project that needs it? Put this button in your README or on your site: one click and your users install it on their own server.
