Install and configure MySQL Server and MySQL InnoDB Cluster

This role will install and configure MySQL server or MySQL in HA mode using MySQL InnoDB Cluster or GTID replication

Table of Contents

Role Variables

This role accept this variables:

Var Required Default Desc
mysql_subnet yes 192.168.25.0/24 Subnet where MySQL will be listen. If the VM or bare metal server has more than one interface, Ansible will filter the interface and MySQL wil listen only on a specific interface. This variable is also used to calculate the MySQL server ID.
mysql_root_pw yes `` MySQL root password.
mysql_authentication no mysql_native_password MySQL authentication method.
disable_firewall no no If set to yes Ansible will disable the firewall.
disable_selinux no no Disable SELinux. Default no, if you want to configure SELinux use another Role. You can disable SELinux setting this variable to yes
resolv_mode no dns How MySQL resolve the names, default dns. If set to host the /etc/hosts file will be overwritten
mysql_listen_all_interfaces no no Set this variable to yes to allow MySQL to listen on all interfaces 0.0.0.0/0. Otherwise the listen ip address will be retrieved using mysql_subnet variable
mysql_user no mysql MySQL system user
mysql_group no mysql Group of the MySQL search system user
mysql_data_dir no /var/lib/mysql MySQL data dir
mysql_log_dir no /var/log/mysql MySQL log dir
mysql_conf_dir no /etc/mysql MySQL conf dir
mysql_pid_dir no /var/run/mysqld MySQL pid dir
mysql_operator_user no operator MySQL operator user, used to bootstrap MySQL InnoDB Cluster.
mysql_operator_password no Op3r4torMyPw Password of operator user
mysql_replica_user no replica MySQL replica user. Used for all the replica operations
mysql_replica_password no rEpL1c4p4Sw0,rd Password of replica user
mysql_replication_mode no `` InnoDB Cluster, GTID, Empty/None (default)
mysql_gr_name no `` Required if mysql_replication_mode is set to InnoDB Cluster. UUID of the Group Replication
mysql_gr_vcu no `` Required if mysql_replication_mode is set to InnoDB Cluster. Group Replication view change uuid
mysql_innodb_cluster_name no `` Required if mysql_replication_mode is set to InnoDB Cluster. The name of MySQL InnoDB Cluster

Vagrant up, build the test infrastructure

To test this role we use Vagrant and Virtualbox, but if you prefer you can also use your own VMs or your baremetal machines.

The first step is to download this repo and birng up all the VMs. But first in the Vagrantfile paste your public ssh key in the CHANGE_ME variable. You can also adjust the number of the vm deployed by changing the NNODES variable (in this exaple we will use 5 nodes). Now we are ready to provision the machines:

git clone https://github.com/garutilorenzo/ansible-role-linux-mysql.git

cd ansible-role-linux-mysql/

vagrant up

Bringing machine 'my-ubuntu-1' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
Bringing machine 'my-ubuntu-2' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
Bringing machine 'my-ubuntu-3' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
Bringing machine 'my-ubuntu-4' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

Ansible setup and pre-flight check

Now if you don't have Ansible installed, install ansible and all the requirements:

apt-get install python3 python3-pip uuidgen openssl
pip3 install pipenv

pipenv shell
pip install -r requirements.txt

Now with Ansible installed we can download the role directly from GitHub:

ansible-galaxy install git+https://github.com/garutilorenzo/ansible-role-linux-mysql.git

Whit Ansible and the role installed we can setup our inventory file (hosts.ini):

[mysql]
my-ubuntu-0 ansible_host=192.168.25.110
my-ubuntu-1 ansible_host=192.168.25.111
my-ubuntu-2 ansible_host=192.168.25.112
my-ubuntu-3 ansible_host=192.168.25.113
my-ubuntu-4 ansible_host=192.168.25.114

and the vars.yml file:

---

disable_firewall: yes
disable_selinux: yes
mysql_resolv_mode: hosts
mysql_subnet: 192.168.25.0/24
mysql_listen_all_interfaces: yes

mysql_root_pw: '<CHANGE_ME>' # <- openssl rand -base64 32 | sed 's/=//'
mysql_replication_mode: 'InnoDB Cluster'
mysql_gr_name: '<CHANGE_ME>' # <- uuidgen
mysql_gr_vcu: '<CHANGE_ME>' #  <- uuidgen
mysql_innodb_cluster_name: 'cluster_lab'

NOTE mysql_gr_name and mysql_gr_vcu are different uuid, so run uuidgen twice. With this vars we are going to deploy MySQL in HA Mode with MySQL InnoDB Cluster, the cluster will be created from an existing Group Replication configuration.

The final step before proceed with the installation is to create the site.yml file:

---
- hosts: mysql
  become: yes
  remote_user: vagrant
  roles: 
    - role: ansible-role-linux-mysql
  vars_files:
    - vars.yml

Deploy MySQL InnoDB Cluster

We are finally ready to deploy MySQL InnoDB Cluster using ansible:

export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False # Ansible skip ssh-key validation

ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini site.yml -e mysql_bootstrap_host=my-ubuntu-0

The cluster is now installed, but we have to persist some configurations. Since the cluster is a new cluster, Ansible has started the Group Replication in bootstrap mode. This means that the first instance (in this case my-ubuntu-0) has te value group_replication_bootstrap_group set to ON, and group_replication_group_seeds set to an empty value. With this second run of Ansible, this variables will be set to the correct values:

ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini site.yml

In this guide mysqlsh is used to make operations on MySQL InnoDB Cluster. Here you can find more information about mysqlsh.

Now we can finally check our cluster:

Cluster high availability check

To test the cluster we can use a sample Docker compose stack, the example uses:

  • Wordpress as frontend
  • mysqlrouter will connect WP to MySQL

To run this test you have to install Docker and Docker compose.

User and Database creation

We need to create one db and one user for wordpress, to do this we have to find the primary server (check the cluster status and find the node with -> "mode": "R/W")

root@my-ubuntu-0:~# mysqlsh root@localhost
Please provide the password for 'root@localhost': ******************************************

MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  JS > \sql # <- SWITCH TO SQL MODE
Switching to SQL mode... Commands end with ;

create database wordpress;
create user 'wordpress'@'%' identified by 'wordpress';
grant all on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress'@'%';
flush privileges;

Sample Dokcer compose stack

The sample stack can be found in the examples folder, this is the compose file:

version: '3.4'
services:
  wordpress:
    image: wordpress:latest
    ports:
      - 80:80
    restart: always
    environment:
      - WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=mysqlrouter:6446
      - WORDPRESS_DB_USER=wordpress
      - WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=wordpress
      - WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress

  mysqlrouter:
    image: garutilorenzo/mysqlrouter:8.0.30
    volumes:
      - type: volume
        source: mysqlrouter
        target: /app/mysqlrouter/
        volume:
          nocopy: true
    environment:
     - MYSQL_HOST=my-ubuntu-0
     - MYSQL_PORT=3306
     - MYSQL_USER=root
     - MYSQL_PASSWORD=<CHANGE_ME> # <- the same password in the vars.yml file
     - MYSQL_ROUTER_ACCOUNT=mysql_router_user
     - MYSQL_ROUTER_PASSWORD=<CHANGE_ME> # <- openssl rand -base64 32 | sed 's/=//'
    extra_hosts:
      my-ubuntu-0: 192.168.25.110
      my-ubuntu-1: 192.168.25.111
      my-ubuntu-2: 192.168.25.112
      my-ubuntu-3: 192.168.25.113
      my-ubuntu-4: 192.168.25.114

volumes:
 mysqlrouter:

Now we can start our stack and inspect the logs:

docker-compose -f mysql-router-compose.yml up -d
docker-compose -f mysql-router-compose.yml logs mysqlrouter

Test the frontend

Now if you try to access localhost you can see the Wordpress installation page:

wp-install

Install and configure WP, and now we are ready for some Chaos Monkey

Simulate disaster

To test WP reachability we can start this simple test:

while true; do curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost; echo; sleep 1; done
200
200

now shutdown the RW node (in this case my-ubuntu-0):

root@my-ubuntu-0:~# sudo halt -p
Connection to 192.168.25.110 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.25.110 closed.

and check the output of the test script:

while true; do curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost; echo; sleep 1; done
200
500 # <- my-ubuntu-0 shutdown and MySQL primary switch
200
200

Now we check the cluster status from the second node, and we see that the cluster is still ONLINE and can tolerate one more failure:

root@my-ubuntu-1:~# mysqlsh root@localhost

If you check WP at localhost is still available, the master now is the my-ubuntu-2 node. Now if we bring up again the my-ubuntu-0 node, the node wil rejoin the cluster and will get the updates from the other nodes:

Restore from complete outage

If for any reason all the servers went down, the cluster has to be restored from a complete outage.

To do this we have to connect to one instance, edit /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/innodb_cluster.cnf and set group_replication_bootstrap_group to ON and comment group_replication_group_seeds. We have now to restart MySQL:

vagrant@my-ubuntu-0:~$
vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/innodb_cluster.cnf

group_replication_bootstrap_group=on
#group_replication_group_seeds=my-ubuntu-0:33061,my-ubuntu-1:33061,my-ubuntu-2:33061,my-ubuntu-3:33061,my-ubuntu-4:33061

systemctl restart mysqld

For all the other (four) members we have to start the group replication:

vagrant@my-ubuntu-4:~$ mysqlsh root@localhost
Please provide the password for 'root@localhost': ******************************************

MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  JS > \sql # <- SWITCH TO SQL MODE
Switching to SQL mode... Commands end with ;
MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  SQL > start group_replication;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.7095 sec)

If the traffic on the cluster was low or absent the cluster will be ONLINE:

MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  SQL > \js
Switching to JavaScript mode...
MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  JS > clu = dba.getCluster()
MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  JS > clu.status()

            "my-ubuntu-4:3306": {

            }
        }, 
        "topologyMode": "Single-Primary"
    }, 
    "groupInformationSourceMember": "my-ubuntu-0:3306"
}

If the cluster has a high volume traffic at the moment of the complete outage. you have to probably run form mysqlsh:

MySQL  localhost:33060+ ssl  JS > var clu = dba.rebootClusterFromCompleteOutage();

Clean up

When you have done you can finally destroy the cluster with:

vagrant destroy

    my-ubuntu-4: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'my-ubuntu-4' VM? [y/N] y
==> my-ubuntu-4: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> my-ubuntu-4: Destroying VM and associated drives...
    my-ubuntu-3: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'my-ubuntu-3' VM? [y/N] y
==> my-ubuntu-3: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> my-ubuntu-3: Destroying VM and associated drives...
    my-ubuntu-2: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'my-ubuntu-2' VM? [y/N] y
==> my-ubuntu-2: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> my-ubuntu-2: Destroying VM and associated drives...
    my-ubuntu-1: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'my-ubuntu-1' VM? [y/N] y
==> my-ubuntu-1: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> my-ubuntu-1: Destroying VM and associated drives...
    my-ubuntu-0: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'my-ubuntu-0' VM? [y/N] y
==> my-ubuntu-0: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> my-ubuntu-0: Destroying VM and associated drives...
