Optimized my.cnf configuration for MySQL/MariaDB (on Ubuntu, CentOS, Almalinux etc. servers)
# === Optimized my.cnf configuration for MySQL/MariaDB (on Ubuntu, CentOS, Almalinux etc. servers) ===
#
# by Fotis Evangelou, developer of Engintron (engintron.com)
#
# ~ Updated December 2021 ~
#
#
# The settings provided below are a starting point for a 8-16 GB RAM server with 4-8 CPU cores.
# If you have different resources available you should adjust accordingly to save CPU, RAM & disk I/O usage.
#
# The settings marked with a specific comment or the word "UPD" (after the value)
# should be adjusted for your system by using database diagnostics tools like:
#
# https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl
# or
# https://github.com/BMDan/tuning-primer.sh
#
# Run either of these scripts before optimizing your database, at least 1 hr after the optimization & finally
# at least once a day for 3 days (without restarting the database) to see how your server performs and if you need
# to re-adjust anything. The more MySQL/MariaDB runs without restarting, the more usage data it gathers, so these
# diagnostics scripts will report in mode detail how MySQL/MariaDB performs.
#
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE: If there is NO comment after a setting value, then 99,9% of the times you won't need to adjust it.
#
#
# --- THINGS TO DO AFTER YOU UPDATE MY.CNF - TROUBLESHOOTING ---
#
# If any terminal commands are mentioned, make sure you execute them as "root" user.
#
# If MySQL or MariaDB cannot start (or restart), then perform the following actions.
#
# 1. If the server had the stock database configuration and you added or updated any
# "innodb_log_*" settings (as suggested below), then execute these commands ONLY
# the first time you apply this configuration:
#
# $ rm -rvf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*
# $ chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
# $ service mysql restart
#
# or use the shorthand command:
# $ rm -rvf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*; chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql; service mysql restart
#
# 2. If the setting "bind-address" is not commented out, then make sure the file /etc/hosts is
# properly configured. A good example of a "clean" /etc/hosts file is something like this:
#
# 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
# ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
# 1.2.3.4 hostname.domain.tld hostname # <-- Replace accordingly!
#
# Finally restart the database service:
#
# $ service mysql restart
#
# 3. If the database service cannot restart even after the first 2 steps, make sure the database data folder
# (common for either MySQL or MariaDB) "/var/lib/mysql" is owned by the "mysql" user AND group.
# Additionally, the folder itself can have 0751 or 0755 file permissions. To fix it, simply do this:
# $ chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
# $ chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql
#
# Finally restart the database service:
#
# $ service mysql restart
#

# Handy tip for managing your database's RAM usage:
# The following values should be treated carefully as they are added together and then multiplied by your "max_connections" value.
# Other options will also add up to RAM consumption (e.g. tmp_table_size). So don't go switching your "join_buffer_size" to 1G, it's harmful & inefficient.
# Use one of the database diagnostics tools mentioned at the top of this file to count your database's potential total RAM usage, so you know if you are within
# reasonable limits. Remember that other services will require enough RAM to operate properly (like Apache or PHP-FPM), so set your limits wisely.

@MaximeMichaud i understand you got hurt...
I was got hurt too... i actually wrong with over-optimizing... ( not only MySql and Engintron )

I think is better if you bring us out-put of mysqltuner.pl and talk facts. ( Again, i don't think is reliable 100% )
but this... you misleading yourself + a lot of people actually not understand.

after all its advice for you, take it, try it.
or keep misleading yourself.

Good Luck.

Question,
how long to mariadb to stabilize on the memory usage? can i want to know if there is a memory leak or normal increase.
also MySQLTuner and tuning-primer not saying same memory usage.

Hey @fevangelou thanks for the response,
i didnt confuse just wanted to ask, primer and mysql tuner saying diffrent memory usage so i do not know whos wrong or right :O
and just wonder how long(uptime for mariadb) takes to memory usage to be stabillize.

@MaximeMichaud
all this talking you didn't put your DATA from mysqltuner as i asked...
I sure have a reason for that.

No worries, if you use Engintron, now it's shipped with MySQLtuner,
be much easier for you to put the DATA here.

Good luck.

Hello, this has helped me a lot on a high-traffic installation of HumHub!
a couple of questions, though:
you don't change innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size, but you do change innodb_buffer_pool_size and innodb_buffer_pool_instances..

on my server, i have a total of 12GB RAM, and 8x CPU cores
so, i set some conservative numbers:
innodb_buffer_pool_size=4GB
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=4

but i havent yet set innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size..
so, i was thinking of doing the following:
innodb_buffer_pool_size=6GB
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=6
innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size=512MB

Because i have several websites on
What do you think?
Does that mean i'm basically only ever going to use a maximum of 3GB, because 512MB x 6 = 3GB?

Does the number of innodb_buffer_pool_instances have any relation to the number of CPU cores?

Finally, the tool linked in the beginning of this article, called MySQLTuner-perl, calculates the maximum RAM MySQL/MariaDB will use as innodb_buffer_pool_size multiplied by innodb_buffer_pool_instances, but that does not seem to be correct, right?

Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for this primer!!

Note
innodb_log_file_size and innodb_log_files_in_group are deprecated in MySQL 8.0.30. These variables are superseded by innodb_redo_log_capacity. For more information, see Section 15.6.5, “Redo Log”.

They may be deprecated, but -according to the docs- they still work IF you don't specifically have a value set for innodb_redo_log_capacity.

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Reduce or eliminate persistent connections to reduce connection usage
    Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=OFF
    We will suggest raising the 'join_buffer_size' until JOINs not using indexes are found.
             See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/join-buffer-size.html
             (specially the conclusions at the bottom of the page).
    Performance schema should be activated for better diagnostics
    Before changing innodb_log_file_size and/or innodb_log_files_in_group read this: https://bit.ly/2TcGgtU
Variables to adjust:
    max_connections (> 100)
    wait_timeout (< 60)
    interactive_timeout (< 28800)
    skip-name-resolve=OFF
    join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with JOINs)
    table_definition_cache (400) > 795 or -1 (autosizing if supported)
    performance_schema=ON
    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 2.9G) if possible.
    innodb_log_file_size should be (=96M) if possible, so InnoDB total log file size equals 25% of buffer pool size.

my.cnf

The MariaDB configuration file

The MariaDB/MySQL tools read configuration files in the following order:

0. "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" symlinks to this file, reason why all the rest is read.

1. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf" (this file) to set global defaults,

2. "/etc/mysql/conf.d/*.cnf" to set global options.

3. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/*.cnf" to set MariaDB-only options.

4. "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.

If the same option is defined multiple times, the last one will apply.

One can use all long options that the program supports.

Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with

--print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.

If you are new to MariaDB, check out https://mariadb.com/kb/en/basic-mariadb-articles/

This group is read both by the client and the server

use it for options that affect everything

jamesautodude commented Nov 7, 2023

For me I had to comment these lines out:

#pid_file                        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
#socket                          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Then it started normally and I was able to access through phpmyadmin :)

Also for anyone using AlmaLinux, the my.cnf is located in:
etc/my.cnf

And if you're using MariaDB, I recommend re-adding this:

#
# include *.cnf from the config directory
#
!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d
