MySQL / MariaDB replication

This is tested on MariaDB 11.

Prepare source server/database

Prepare mysql source

/etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld.cnf

[mysqld]
server-id = 1
log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog-format = ROW
binlog-do-db = databeast
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
gtid_strict_mode = 1
log_slave_updates = 1

Restart mariadb: systemctl restart mariadb

Create replication user

mysql -u root -p

DROP USER IF EXISTS 'replicator'@'replica.example.com';
CREATE USER 'replicator'@'replica.example.com' IDENTIFIED BY 'supersecure';
GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'replicator'@'replica.example.com';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Create database dump

mariadb-dump -u root -psupersecuresource --single-transaction --gtid --master-data=1 --databases databeast > /tmp/databeast.sql

Or feel lucky with pipes... Execute this from the replica host.

mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS databeast;"
mariadb-dump -h source.example.com -u root -p --single-transaction --databases databeast | pv | mysql -u root -p

Configure replicate

Prepare mysql replica

/etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld.cnf

[mysqld]
server-id = 2
read-only = 1
relay-log = /var/log/mysql/mysql-relay-bin
log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog-format = ROW
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
gtid_strict_mode = 1
log_slave_updates = 1

Restart mariadb: systemctl restart mariadb

Copy database dump

scp -O source.example.com:/tmp/databeast.sql /tmp/databeast.sql

Import database dump

mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS databeast;"
mysql -u root -p < /tmp/databeast.sql

Activate replication

mysql -u root -p

STOP REPLICA;
RESET REPLICA;
CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO
  SOURCE_HOST='source.example.com',
  SOURCE_USER='replicator',
  SOURCE_PASSWORD='supersecure',
  SOURCE_USE_GTID=slave_pos;
START REPLICA;

Monitor replication

mysql -u root -p

SHOW REPLICA STATUS\G
