MySQL / MariaDB replication

This is tested on MariaDB 11 and MySQL 8.0.

Prepare source server/database

Prepare mysql source

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

MariaDB:

[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

MySQL:

[mysqld]
server-id = 1
log_bin = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog_format = ROW
binlog-expire-logs-seconds = 172800
max_binlog_size = 100M
gtid_mode = ON
enforce_gtid_consistency = ON
log_slave_updates = 1

Restart mariadb: systemctl restart mariadb
Restart mysql: systemctl restart mysql

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:

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

MySQL:

mysqldump -u root -psupersecuresource --single-transaction --set-gtid-purged=ON --source-data=1 --databases databeast > /tmp/databeast.sql

Configure replicate

Prepare mysql replica

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

MariaDB:

[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

MySQL:

[mysqld]
server-id = 2
relay_log = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin
read_only = 1
replicate-do-db = databeast
log_bin = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog_format = ROW
binlog-expire-logs-seconds = 172800
max_binlog_size = 100M
gtid_mode = ON
enforce_gtid_consistency = ON
log_slave_updates = 1

Restart mariadb: systemctl restart mariadb
Restart mysql: systemctl restart mysql

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

Import in one go

If you feel lucky with pipes...

MariaDB:

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

MySQL:

mysql -u root -psupersecuresource -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS databeast;"
mysqldump -u root -h source.example.com -psupersecuresource \
    --single-transaction \
    --set-gtid-purged=ON \
    --source-data=1 \
    --databases pms | mysql -u root -psupersecure

Activate replication

mysql -u root -p

MariaDB:

STOP SLAVE;
RESET SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
  MASTER_HOST='source.example.com',
  MASTER_USER='replicator',
  MASTER_PASSWORD='supersecure',
  MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;
START SLAVE;

MySQL:

STOP REPLICA;
RESET REPLICA;
CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO
  SOURCE_HOST='source.example.com',
  SOURCE_USER='replicator',
  SOURCE_PASSWORD='supersecure',
  SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION=1;
START REPLICA;

Monitor replication

mysql -u root -p
