``my.ini`` changes are global to all projects, but will only affect the currently selected
MySQL version.
.. important::
When using :ref:`docker_toolbox` on Windows, ``*.cnf`` files must have read-only file
permissions, otherwise they are not sourced by the MySQL server.
Make sure to ``chmod 0444 *.cnf`` after adding your values.

=======
You can set custom MySQL options via your own defined ``my.cnf`` files for each version separately.

See the directory structure for MySQL configuration directories inside ``./cfg/`` directory:

Customization is achieved by placing a file into ``cfg/mysql-X.X/``, ``cfg/mariadb-X.X/`` or
2018-04-04 06:55:55 +00:00
``cfg/percona-X-X`` (where ``X.X`` stands for your MySQL version).
The file must end by ``.cnf`` in order to be sourced by the MySQL server.
Each of the MySQL cnf configuration directories already contain an example file:
``devilbox-custom.cnf-example``, that can simply be renamed to ``devilbox-custom.cnf``.
This file holds some example values that can be adjusted or commented out.

In order for the changes to be applied, you will have to restart the Devilbox.
Examples
========
Change key_buffer_size for MySQL 5.5
------------------------------------
The following examples shows you how to change the
`key_buffer_size <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_key_buffer_size>`_
of MySQL 5.5 to 16 MB.
.. code-block:: bash
# Navigate to the Devilbox directory
host> cd path/to/devilbox
# Navigate to MySQL 5.5 config directory
host> cd cfg/mysql-5.5
# Create new cnf file
host> touch key_buffer_size.cnf
Now add the following content to the file:
.. code-block:: ini
:name: memory_limit.cnf
:caption: memory_limit.cnf
[mysqld]
key_buffer_size=16M
In order to apply the changes you need to restart the Devilbox.

Change timeout and packet size for PerconaDB 5.7
------------------------------------------------
The following examples shows you how to change the
`wait_timeout <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_wait_timeout>`_

host> cd path/to/devilbox
# Navigate to PerconaDB 5.7 config directory
host> cd cfg/percona-5.7
# Create new ini file
host> touch timeouts.cnf
Now add the following content to the file:
.. code-block:: ini
