Mysql

This project involved learning how to configure database servers in a primary-replica model. I configured the two servers provided to me by ALX School in a MySQL primary-replica setup with a dummy database, and wrote a Bash script to automate generation of database backups.

Tasks 📃

• 4-mysql_configuration_primary: The MySQL my.conf configuration file used to set up my first server as a primary database server on the database tyrell_corp.

• 4-mysql_configuration_replica: The MySQL my.conf configuration file used to set up my second server as the replica database server on the database tyrell_corp.

• 5-mysql_backup: Bash script that generates a compressed tar.gz archive from a MySQL dump.

  • Usage: ./5-mysql_backup <MySQL root password>
  • Generates a dump containing all MySQL databases on the root server.
  • Names the resulting tar archive in the format day-month-year.tar.gz.
