I found these helpful: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/getting-started-with-mariadb-galera-cluster/ http://galeracluster.com/documentation-webpages/ > I followed the basic mariadb replication instructions Okay, that'll be traditional MySQL-style Master-Slave replication (which can be extended easily enough to Master-Master for a single pair, but gets very "delicate" once you try to have more than two Masters which can be written to). > This is on fedora28 x86_64. > > # rpm -q mariadb-server > mariadb-server-10.2.16-1.fc27.x86_64 Looks good.
