What is the best way to archive a mysql galera cluster on rancher ?  
i want to make a structure with multiple mysql master for replication, but i don’t know which can be the best way to achieve that.

hey @shakisha did you succeed to build a galera cluster using Rancher ? I’m a bit lost as well on how to do it.

I found some examples using docker cli or others orchestrators like:

- [https://github.com/kontena/wordpress-cluster/blob/master/kontena.yml](https://github.com/kontena/wordpress-cluster/blob/master/kontena.yml)
- [https://github.com/sttts/docker-galera-mariadb-10.0](https://github.com/sttts/docker-galera-mariadb-10.0)

I’m pretty sur that everything is there but I’m a bit confuse on how to to translate that in rancher way (stack ?) specially on how to link all nodes together…

If someone didi it, I’ll appreciate some tips 😄
