In this blog post, we’ll look at how to run Percona XtraDB Cluster on Windows using Docker.
This is a follow-up to my previous post on Percona XtraBackup on Windows. The fact is that with Docker you can now run a variety of software applications on Windows that previously were available only for Linux platforms.
We can run (to evaluate and for testing purposes) several nodes of Percona XtraDB Cluster on a single Windows box.
The steps for this are:
- Setup Docker on the Windows box.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install
- Create a Docker network.
docker network create net1 - Bootstrap the cluster.
docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test -e CLUSTER_NAME=cl1 --name=node1 --net=net1 perconalab/percona-xtradb-cluster - Join the nodes.
docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test -e CLUSTER_NAME=cl1 -e CLUSTER_JOIN=node1 --net=net1 perconalab/percona-xtradb-cluster
Repeat step 4 as many times as you want.
The result: the cluster is now running on Windows!
