  • REPLICATION_PASSWORD [default: replication_pass]
  • REPLICATION_HEALTH_GRACE_PERIOD [default: 3]
  • REPLICATION_HEALTH_TIMEOUT [default: 10]
  • MASTER_PORT [default: 3306]
  • MASTER_HOST [default: master]

Start master

docker run -d \
  --name mysql_master \
  -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 \
  bergerx/mysql-replication:5.7

Start slave

  --name mysql_slave \
  -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 \
