MariaDB Galera Cluster is a synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB. It is available on Linux only, and only supports the XtraDB/InnoDB storage engines (although there is experimental support for MyISAM - see the wsrep_replicate_myisam system variable).
For this, I have setup 3 virtual machines in the host ubuntu. The virtual machines are using ubuntu 1404. The network settings for this devices are bridge to my host network card and so I can access these vms remotely via ssh. This tutorial primarily is reference this and this. If you want explanation, please read the links mentioned before. I will quickly demonstrate what actually is galera cluster in few minutes.
Below shown are apt update on node 2. We then install package python-software-properties and add the mariadb galera package repository. You should repeat these steps on all 3 nodes.

There are two files to edit for all the nodes as of following. The content of the files can be found here.
- /etc/mysql/conf.d/cluster.cnf
- /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Once all three nodes configuration files edited, you start a node with this parameter --wsrep-new-cluster . You can see above I started on the first node. Then start the remaining nodes just like normal mysql start process.
As you might noticed, mysql cannot stop in my virtual machine. I have no idea why is that as on my good old host machine, with three vms running make these vms crawling.. I don't bother to investigate further and just want to quickly get into the database crud. But eventually all my three nodes are started and see below.

If this excite you, then you should probably spend more time to learn how to administer and how to best use mariadb galera cluster. Last but not least, if you would like to sponsor/donate for me or this site, please do so as this this fund will channel into server maintenance and buy better hardware for my learning and share to you in future.
