💖 NAME 💖

galera_new_cluster — the girlboss way to start a whole new Galera cluster 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this, bestie: every single node is down 😭 and you need to bring the cluster back from the dead. That's literally what this tool is for — it bootstraps a brand-new Galera Cluster 🔥

💀 The one rule: run galera_new_cluster on the first node only. Not on the second one, not on the third one, not on your friend's node. First node only, periodt.

Then, on all the remaining nodes, you just hit them with:

service @DAEMON_NAME@ start

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 👑

And this little cutie comes with a flag too:

  • --help, -h — shows you a help message and dips. 🫶 No cap, that's the most helpful thing it does.
