❗For better reliability we release images with stability tags (wodby/mariadb:10-X.X.X) which correspond to git tags. We strongly recommend using images only with stability tags.

Overview:

• All images based on Alpine Linux
• Base image: wodby/alpine
• GitHub actions builds
• Docker Hub

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links:

• 11.2, 11, latest (Dockerfile)
• 11.1 (Dockerfile)
• 11.0 (Dockerfile)
• 10.11, 10 (Dockerfile)
• 10.6 (Dockerfile)
• 10.5 (Dockerfile)
• 10.4 (Dockerfile)

Credits to Alpine Linux team for patches for better musl compatibility of MariaDB. Patches taken from Alpine's packages repository.

All images built for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

In-depth documentation about Galera would be too lengthy for this README file. Instead, refer to these authoritative documentation sources:

• MariaDB Galera Documentation
• Codership Galera Documentation

When these sources disagree (for example, wsrep options/system vars are slightly different), favor MariaDB's documentation over Codership's.

You must set the WSREP_ON environment variable if you want the container's /etc/mysql/my.cnf to include Galera/wsrep specific configuration settings.

When starting a new cluster, the first node must bootstrap the cluster:

$ docker run -e WSREP_ON=ON -v data1:/var/lib/mysql --name galera-1 \
    wodby/mariadb:galera --wsrep-new-cluster

When the first node is ready, the other nodes can join it (via its hostname or IP) and participate in the cluster:

$ docker run -e WSREP_ON=ON -v data2:/var/lib/mysql --name galera-2 \
    wodby/mariadb:galera --wsrep-cluster-address="gcomm:https://<node-1>"

$ docker run -e WSREP_ON=ON -v data3:/var/lib/mysql --name galera-3 \
    wodby/mariadb:galera --wsrep-cluster-address="gcomm:https://<node-1>,<node-2>"

After the other nodes have joined the first, you should terminate the first container and docker run a new container without the --wsrep-new-cluster and join the other nodes. This is to prevent cluster re-bootstrap if the bootstrap container (or the host it's on) ever decided to restart.

You may also want to restart the second node with a --wsrep-cluster-address=gcomm:https://<node-1>,<node-3>, or if you know all three node hostnames or IPs ahead of time, you can use gcomm:https://<node-1>,<node-2>,<node-3> for all node containers.

For Galera clustering to work properly, it requires a quorum of nodes to agree on pending commits.

Although a one-node cluster is possible (it will always agree with itself), the minimum number of "voters" to achieve quorum is 3. A two-node cluster is possible, but you must add a Galera Arbitrator Daemon (aka garbd) as add a third voter. In general, it's a good idea to use garbd for clusters with even numbers of nodes, to provide a tie-breaking vote in case half of the nodes agree and the other half disagree.

The galera-tagged images also include garbd, which can be run instead of mariadb.
