I need help setting up a cluster for Percona MySQL 5.7, I tried setting it up on Ubuntu 20 following this documentation [Installing Percona Server for MySQL 5.7 on Debian and Ubuntu - Percona Server for MySQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/5.7/installation/apt_repo.html#installing-percona-server-for-mysql-from-percona-apt-repository) but when I check the database via

`show status like 'wsrep%';`

The result shows empty instead of showing the cluster size and other info.

Hi, you are following the instructions for Percona Server, which is drop-in replacement for Oracle MySQL but does not have clustering. What you want is Percona XtraDB Cluster instead. Here’s the documentation you should be following: [Installing Percona XtraDB Cluster on Debian or Ubuntu - Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/install/apt.html#apt)

@Aldrin_John_Lagrimas,  
Just FYI, you should be doing 8.0 as 5.7 will die Oct 2023.
