One of the most common feature requested for the MySQL docker official image is adding replication master/slave ability. As docker-library/mysql#43 is closed by deciding that it's a feature should be implemented via init
script, my example here is a demo of how to do it.
The official MySQL image have the customize ability by running script files under /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
directory. The script has to be either a shell script, .sh
, or a SQL script, .sql
or .sql.gz
.
To implement the MySQL replication, I borrowed the code from PR: docker-library/mysql#43, modified and saved as replica.sh
. As described in the script comments, we have 5 more special environment variables for replication.
MYSQL_REPLICA_USER
: create the given user on the intended master hostMYSQL_REPLICA_PASS
MYSQL_MASTER_SERVER
: change master on this location on the intended slaveMYSQL_MASTER_PORT
: optional, by default 3306MYSQL_MASTER_WAIT_TIME
: seconds to wait for the master to come upThe Dockerfile
is very simple, just copied replica.sh
to /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
directory. That's it.
Let's use the new MySQL image with replication ability. To do that, I created a simple docker-compose.yml
file:
version: '2'
services:
master:
image: twang2218/mysql:5.7-replica
build: .
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 3306:3306
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=master_passw0rd
- MYSQL_REPLICA_USER=replica
- MYSQL_REPLICA_PASS=replica_Passw0rd
command: ["mysqld", "--log-bin=mysql-bin", "--server-id=1"]
slave:
image: twang2218/mysql:5.7-replica
build: .
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 3307:3306
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=slave_passw0rd
- MYSQL_REPLICA_USER=replica
- MYSQL_REPLICA_PASS=replica_Passw0rd
- MYSQL_MASTER_SERVER=master
- MYSQL_MASTER_WAIT_TIME=10
command: ["mysqld", "--log-bin=mysql-bin", "--server-id=2"]
Then, just simply run it by docker-compose up -d
, then our MySQL replication master and slave are running. Feel free to create something on the master and check whether it's been replicated to the slave.
