Deploying Drupal in OCI using MDS: the easy way !

If you plan to deploy a Drupal site to OCI using MySQL Database Service, there is a very easy way to perform that deployment: using OCI’s Resource Manager !

As you know, security is something very important for Oracle in OCI, therefor, exposing the database on the Internet is not allowed.

Even if you are not using OCI, I really recommend you to follow that principle and never expose your database to Internet !

I already cover this in many previous posts. But I also understand that for people not being a sysadmin, this can be complicated the first time.

That’s why, all this can be automated using a stack to deploy in Resource Manager.

The first thing to do when you have your OCI account, it’s to download the stack from GitHub: https://github.com/lefred/oci-drupal-mds

Then in OCI’s dashboard, just …

Deploy Magento with MySQL Database Service in OCI

Magento is a very popular e-commerce platform using MySQL as backend.

The latest version is compatible with MySQL 8.0, however it’s not that easy to deploy. Magento has multiple dependencies like Elasticsearch for example. Additionally, the Open Source version seems to require Highly Technical knowledge to be deployed correctly.

If you would like to test it with MySQL Database Service (MDS) in OCI, you can find a stack file on this GitHub repository that easily deploys everything you need.

After applying the Stack in OCI’s Resource Manager, you have a brand new Magento ready to use !

Let’s see this in action:

As you could see this is very easy. Enjoy MySQL Database Service on OCI and I’m always please to …

Fixing low durability GTID replica with Voodoo

At my FOSDEM talk earlier this year, I gave a trick for fixing a crashed GTID replica.  I never blogged about this, so now is a good time.  What is pushing me to write on this today is my talk at MinervaDB Athena 2020 this Friday.  At this conference, I will present more details about MySQL replication crash safety.  So you know what to do if you want to learn more about

Using MySQL Workbench with MySQL Database Service

Recently (earlier today), I blogged about how to use PHPMyAdmin with a MDS instance. I also showed at the end of the video that it’s possible to open MySQL Router on the compute instance to connect from anywhere. However this has security risks of course. Therefor, it’s not recommended.

If you want to connect from on-premise to your MDS instance you should use a VPN or a SSH tunnel. Take a look at these previous post:

How to deploy a MySQL Database Service Instance with PHPMyAdmin

I recently received several messages from developers not being comfortable with command line when they need to create schemas, tables, … They were asking me for an easy alternative when testing MDS.

There is a very popular tool in the developer community to manage their databases in MySQL: PHPMyAdmin.

So if you are trying MDS (MySQL Database Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure), it’s possible to deploy such instance with a compute instance hosting PHPMyAdmin very easily using OCI’s Resource Manager and a stack (zip file) that you can find here: https://github.com/lefred/oci-phpmyadmin-mds/releases/tag/1.1.0

If you want to try MDS in OCI, you can get free credits using this url: …

Convert private key generated via OCI Console to ppk

I am pretty new on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure technology, so maybe I am talking about something you already know. But anyway I prefer to share this case: it can help if you encounter the same problem as me. Let’s take the risk to have too much information rather than nothing!

The problem

I was doing some tests on the new MySQL Database Service and during the setup I decided to generate my ssh keys via the OCI console:

When I tried to connect via PuTTY or MobaXterm to my compute instance using the opc account and my private key (generated previously), I got the following …

Installing MySQL Database Service (MDS)

On a previous blog post, we saw how to create an account on the Oracle OCI using the Oracle Cloud Free Tier offer and then how to instal MySQL Server on the Compute instance.
Some weeks later, the new MySQL Database Service (MDS) was out and I can show you now how to install and configure it.

We are talking about the MySQL 8.0 Enterprise Edition on the on Oracle Generation 2 Cloud Infrastructure. For the moment it’s only available on some of the data regions (Frankfurt and London for the EMEA zone), but normally others will be activated …
