Please add MariaDB Support

[Greg-Boggs]

Are there special steps to enabling MariaDB for DrupalVM?

[geerlingguy]

I'm glad you asked! Currently the following would need to be done:

1. Switch vagrant_box in config.yml to: geerlingguy/centos7
2. Manually apply this PR/patch to the geerlingguy.mysql role (by default, it should be in /etc/ansible/roles/geerlingguy.mysql on the host machine): MariaDB support ansible-role-mysql#38 (patch).

Technically, you could even use MariaDB without switching to CentOS 7, if you can get the Ubuntu packages right, but I haven't tested that yet.

I'd like to add a Wiki page with instructions for switching to MariaDB from MySQL, but I just haven't had the time yet.

See new Wiki page: Use MariaDB instead of MySQL.

I'll be adding instructions there (and linking to them from the README and project home page) soon. You can now use MariaDB easily in either Ubuntu 14.04 or CentOS 7.

Added docs. You will need at least geerlingguy.mysql version 1.5.1 to use MariaDB with Drupal VM either on Ubuntu 14.04 or CentOS 7. You can update your roles with ansible-galaxy install -r provisioning/requirements.yml --force.
