Topic: Install MariaDB Master/Master Replication with iRedmail EE

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): iRedmail EE
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? installer
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 24.04.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): OpenLDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
We will be migrating our current iRedmail server (Rocky 8) over to a new server (Ubuntu 24.04.3) running iRedmail EE. Our backend will be OpenLDAP which we have a remote server for and also want to run the MariaDB on remote servers using Master/Master replication between them.

Since iRedmail EE installs MariaDB by default locally, how do I get the installer to either not install MariaDB and/or point it to the MariaDB servers I have already setup? Is this something I do during the install process or after?

Thanks. Scott.

Re: Install MariaDB Master/Master Replication with iRedmail EE

- Latest EE v1.5.1 doesn't support such setup yet.
- Upcoming EE v1.6.0 supports remote MariaDB as backend during initial setup. You must choose MariaDB as backend first, then choose local or remote MySQL/MariaDB server. If it's remote, input server address/port, root username/password, etc and finish the initial setup. This way you can run MariaDB cluster separately.
