Hello,
I am trying to install xtradb cluster for the first time, in Ubuntu. I have ran the folloiwng commands:
I need to create a my.conf file, but I’m not sure where to find the mysql directory.
I have not installed MySQL but according to one of the following links,
we need to create it in
Do I need to install MySQL first so that this directory exists already, or should I just create
the missing directory and then create the my.conf file in there?

Thank you
Herbey,
You don’t have to install Oracle’s MySQL to have this directory or the configuration file, if for some reason /etc/mysql directory or /etc/mysql/my.cnf is not found you may be able to create it without any problems.
You may use the sample my.cnf here - [url]Installing Percona XtraDB Cluster on Ubuntu, or here [url]Installing Percona XtraDB Cluster. Just make sure to change the parameters that would fit your test cluster.

Shameless plug of my blogpost (just skip through Docker specific commands)
