Hello,

I would like to know how to setup a separate MySQL database server between two droplets.

I couldn’t find such article in the knowledgebase.

Thanks!

Just install another instance on another droplet. <br> <br>For example: <br> <br>apt-get install mysql-server

Make sure you bind it on 0.0.0.0 or your droplet’s ip instead of 127.0.0.1 (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) too.

cyberprank, what was the answer for the datatransfer question… I want to set up a mysql replica on a remote system, aka, master in us and the other droplet in am, will I be charged for inter network data transfer?
